Mary McAleese, the former president of Ireland says she has "no problem" with gay marriage.
In an interview with Irish station RTE, McAleese said she's "just thrilled anyone wants to get married," describing marriage as "great grace."
Why the universal push for love? McAleese says that gay people have experienced "interminable loneliness" and deserve the same opportunities as straight people.
McAleese resigned office in 2002 over the mishandling of a child abuse scandal. She's a staunch Catholic that has criticized the church for it's isolating views. McAleese is now studying canon law in Rome.
