Ireland became the first nation to approve same-sex marriage by a popular vote, sweeping aside the opposition of the Roman Catholic Church in a resounding victory Saturday for the gay rights. With the final ballots counted, the vote was 62 percent in favour of legalizing same-sex marriage, and 38 percent opposed. The turnout was large � more than 60 percent of the 3.2 million eligible voters cast ballots, and only one district out of 43 voted the measure down. Source: The New York Times
