    I don't know if it's good or bad.

    The referendum was to let the public decide. So I guess that means the courts will, and they tend to be more logical about things like this?

    So yay?

    Also, I love how multiples of Catholic nations are more progressive than mostly-Protestant nation when Catholicism is supposed to be conservative and Protestantism is supposed to be..more progressive.

    In my opinion, this is good. The rights of minorities should never be left up to public referendum of the majority.
