Anti-gay preacher accidentally comes out against straight marriage
By Josh Haggis
An anti-gay preacher accidentally came out against heterosexual marriage during a live television debate.
The incident occurred last night (February 1) on TV3 during a debate on Ireland’s forthcoming referendum on gay marriage, which saw audience member Michael O’Leary accidentally tell the audience that he “doesn’t want to see men and women get married”.
“We have family values, and no politician or party should be coming out and calling for a yes vote,” ranted O’Leary. “I say it’s shame on you, we want family values, and we don’t want to see men and women getting married.”
The unfortunate slip lead to the audience and debate panel breaking out into laughter, to which the man responded by aggressively shouting: “We don’t want to see two men getting married, we don’t want to see two women getting married!”
Meanwhile, Ireland’s Health Minister Leo Varadkar came out as gay last month (January) in the run up to the gay marriage referendum – find out more here.
