Jumping in a bit late here, but it is very real- I know the individual who runs the federation.
The Pagan Federation here is run by two individuals as far as I'm aware. A larger and more active organisation runs pagan events across the country however.

They don't have a list of clergy at the federation, just two people I think (there are quite a few legal pagan clergy here) and they have a zero tolerance approach to those kind of people, as does the Irish pagan community in general from what I have found.
I've yet to meet a pagan here who didn't agree with the response to be honest, while fairly blunt it does reflect the fact that equal marriage is something many of us are proud of. We were the first country to legalize it by popular vote I believe and many of our pagan clergy are LGBT themselves.

Just thought I'd weigh in as someone here who is active in the Irish pagan scene. :)


Jumping in equally late to say this is wonderful to hear!

This absurd "black is white, up is down, you're so intolerant of my intolerance" attitude is oozing all over the place in the era of Trump. It needs to be met with the scorn it so richly deserves.
The first song sets the wheel in motion / The second is a song of love / The third song tells of Her devotion / The fourth cries joy from the sky above
The fifth song binds our fate to silence / and bids us live each moment well / The sixth unleashes rage and violence / The seventh song has truth to tell
The last song echoes through the ages / to ask its question all night long / And close the circle on these pages / These, the metamythos songs
