It’s only been a few days since the DUP’s assembly motion against the introduction of gay equality rights fell through. It was a tied vote, but luckily reason prevailed.
After a two-hour debate at Stormont, 39 assembly members voted in favour of a DUP motion and 39 against.
The party claimed the new legislation could place Christian-run businesses on the “wrong side of the law”.
Now the Christian Institute is taking the Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain to court to try and block the new legislation.
Colin Hart, of the Christian Institute, said the concerns of religious people had been “trampled over”.
Tough shit Colin. Gays’ rights have been trampled over for long enough. It’s sad that legislation like this is needed in the first place.
Religion is a personal choice, sexual orientation isn’t.
