Pic: Anti-gay leaflets in Dublin claim gay people ''likely to get cancers later in life''

With the date for the Marriage Equality referendum set for this summer, the campaign on both sides is starting to ratchet up.

With campaigns from the Yes side including an initiative for English ex-pats to return home to vote, there's a lot of effort going in to the campaign.

The No side, however, are distributing leaflets riddled with spelling mistakes and pretty bizarre statements.

These leaflets were distributed around the RDS earlier today, with claims that gay people will "still contract cancers later in life" and that they are more likely to commit suicide and suffer from depression.

Maybe that's because of homophobic assholes. Who knows.

Here's the leaflet in full.
