but I will say a section of the community has been recognised as being part of our society

Fully agree re being recognised, but i strongly doubt they will be accepted by all.
I see the problem now is a numerically larger ( but still small ) section of society has effectively been told ( in their eyes ) that their beliefs dont matter. That groups beliefs are ( mainly ) based on religion, so no amount of telling em "its over, get over it" will change them, just as no amount of telling the gays to come up with a new word that could be legislated to cover the "legal equality" of a union would satisfy them.
Many of those who voted probably dont care.(me)
Those who voted Yes because it benefitted them will be happy
Those who voted no on belief will probably be less tolerant in future.
( Lets hope the last one doesnt come true )
