In Ireland, a Same-Sex Marriage With a Tax Benefit
(The Irish news media, the men said, reported that the two are straight and never thought to ask whether one of them is gay.)
Murphy said that When I was in relationships with men before, it was always the friendship that was the most important thing for me,
"He said, ‘You need somewhere to live, and I need someone to take care of me,’ " Mr. O’Sullivan recalled.
The local news media flocked to a civil registration office in Dublin on Friday
to witness the wedding of the men, Michael O’Sullivan, 58, and Matt Murphy, 82.
This past week, Ireland was stirred by the story of two men in Dublin who, three days before Christmas, married for tax reasons.
When 62 percent of voters supported same-sex marriage in 2015, the result was seen as emblematic of how much Ireland had changed
since the days when the powerful Roman Catholic Church effectively outlawed sex outside marriage, to say nothing of gay love.
