It's 'affects', with an 'a'. Opinion discarded.

[@Darkmatter] From a cursory glance at relevant polls, it seems like the vast majority (>75%) of Irishmen support same-sex marriage. Why is a referendum on the subject only happening now if the question is so wildly one-sided?

Once again, in private it's easy to say we want it. Publically, cultural dogmas due to our religious heritage scares people and encourages homophobia. It's hard to explain without seeing it. Plenty of people who will vote yes will still use homophobic slurs on a daily basis as it's in our culture due to church influence and oppression. Like I said it's disgusting.
