Okay, it probably doesnt qualify as the worlds most Sophisticated Theology, but this caused a great deal of snickering in Ireland today. The leaflet apparently is the work of a Christian group campaigning against Irelands imminent referendum on same-sex marriage. They had virtually no hope of stopping the inevitable even before this page started hitting the streets and then trending on social media, as there is an extremely comfortable margin of support for it. Now they probably have even less.

Twitter responses include:
How can Ireland be against the #soundsofsodomy? We've won Eurovision seven times, for God's sake!

I understand the anger, #soundsofsodomy was one of the worst white noise meditation CDs I ever bought.

But the greatest revelation of all was that there is actually a German metal band called Sounds of Sodomy. Obviously.

I'm a little confused by their point.
I was raised by a hetero couple, and the only sex I ever heard was when I accidentally walked in on them once.
