Huge Ireland vote for gay marriage

BBC

The Republic of Ireland has voted overwhelmingly to legalise same-sex marriage in a historic referendum.

More than 62% voted in favour of amending the country's constitution to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry.

It is the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage through a popular vote.

The referendum was held 22 years after homosexual acts were decriminalised in the Republic of Ireland
