The idiom of a supposed ' gay agenda' is merely cleverly crafted wordplay used by right wing homophobes to scare other right wing homophobes into believing that some kind of homosexual hordes are out to destroy good oul ' catholic Ireland'. Homosexual equality issues and gay rights are civil rights issues and human rights issues. To deem it an 'agenda' makes it seem like some kind of covert mission on the part of gays who campaign and lobby for these rights. Human rights should be a given, no minority or individual should be smeared with such wording, as if to suggest it is somehow negative to desire equality? What's so radical about the desire to be accepted, respected and acknowledged in they eyes of the state, the law and other citizens? There should not need to be a so called 'gay agenda' but if it takes one to stop this discrimination and prejudice against gay people and their rights, then count me in..
