Homophobia's a family affair for Northern Ireland's power couple, Iris and Peter Robinson!
MP Iris Robinson drew our ire earlier this year when she described gay folk as sick sinners who should be cured of our queer ways.
Despite very public outrage, Robinson stuck by her remarks – and so is her husband, First Minister Peter Robinson. His wife doesn't deserve any blame, he says, because God agrees:
It wasn’t Iris Robinson who determined that homosexuality was an abomination, it was the Almighty.This is the Scriptures and it is a strange world indeed where somebody on the one hand talks about equality, but won’t allow Christians to have the equality, the right to speak, the right to express their views.
You know what we call that? Bollocks.

So…in what way, exactly, have Iris and Peter Robinson–or any Christians–not been allowed the right to speak?
What they demand evidently is the "right" not to have anyone disagree with them.
*sigh,* I thought by giving funding to the gay community he was taking the backbonless way of apologizing without offending the wife. I think he would have been better keeping his mouth shut, you could say the same for Iris, but she's just plain crazy.
CWM I agree! There rights have not been violated in any way, their views were aired and there were no consequences!
This god says, not iris , BS! this was Iris, all Iris!!!
