Iris Robinson, the Northern Ireland politician who thinks gay folk should seek reparative therapy, recently used a BBC interview to equate gay sins with those of murderers. But Robinson makes sure to say she doesn’t have anything against us, because she’s filled with God’s love.
It must be satisfying to be so smug.

Word of god my ass- just because a book says something doesn’t make it true! She herself ignores many passages in the bible, like women should have head coverings in church, a women shoiuld not be teaching men,etc….word of stupid man, not god, you ilk.

If this bitch thinks she’s speaking the word of god, then she needs to get a new brain.

She is disgusting. I’m saddened that Christians in Europe seem to be importing the more extreme blend of Christianity from the US.

Although religion is a featured characteristic of the DUP’s attacks on the Irish and on GLBT folks it’s not their primary motivation. In the case of the Irish religious bigotry verging on racism is the DUP’s excuse to impose and maintain an apartheid system, and in our case the DUP’s ‘bible fascist’ bigotry is part and parcel of their defense of privilege and wealth by attempting to ‘divide and rule’.
In both cases the use of this carefully directed and politically motivated religious bigotry is very dangerous. It’s well known that Paisley’s
DUP had deep connections with the UDF and other terrorist groups. Even the English authorities considered arresting him but in the end they needed Paisley too much. The result was years of harsh communal violence.
The BBC says “Secret Public Record Office files from 1977 show senior Stormont officials believed Ian Paisley was associated with loyalist paramilitaries. The remarks made by the officials reveal they considered arresting the now first minister for onspiracy.â€

Sinn Féin is the pro–nationalist all-Ireland socialist leaning party that appears to take the strongest stand on GLBT rights. Recent polling in the Republic indicates that 58 percent support full same sex marriage rights while a mere 26 percent support the inferior second class citizenship option of civil unions/ and partnerships. The exciting news is that even in a country with a priest ridden past a total of 84 percent support us. In the Republic Sinn Féin and Labour support same sex marriage against the policies of major right wing parties, FF, FG and the Greens.
That’s why Sinn Féin continues to grow at the expense of the Greens and the majority parties. In the north however, both SF and the SDLP decided, since it was going to become law anyway, to support civil partnerships, a form of second class citizenship for which they were rightly criticized by GLBT groups.
The right wing bigots who run the DUP and the Paisleyite cult should be prosecuted for hate crimes whenever they commit them. We should all support the Sinn Féin call to oust her from government, even if, especially if, it gets uncomfortable for the DUP and their Tory cousins.

Well, we all know what she’s really filled with….
and it ain’t spelled “God’s love”.

Arghhhh, fucking Perdue emerges from under his slimy stone
Bill, I am still waiting for you to give me your address so i can visit you and get you to persuade me to visit your re-education camp in Cuba.
I have my baseball bat all packed
Or, of course, I would be happy to see you over here in London.
Either way an intense meet is a must
Bill Perdue
In your dreams, piggie.
But if you really want to make another (futile)attempt at becoming human just go to the Cuban Embassy and ask about their de-nazification program. Of course you’ll have to pay your own way, they don’t waste money on BNP baboons.
beelzebab
You are suck a cunt purdue. If I can get my hands on you I would break every fucking bone in your filthy body.
for real.
everywhere I find you I will pursue you relentlessly
I will also do some research and try and to track you down
B Nesbitt
wow! we ALL know he’s a tosser, no need to get violent, it’s not his fault he’s an ignorant Moron!
Calling for more violence and conflict in NI, good one Bill!
“The BBC says “Secret Public Record Office files from 1977 show senior Stormont officials believed Ian Paisley was associated with loyalist paramilitaries.” What NI politician of the time wasn’t?!
Your posts seem to go off on some misinformed rant, maybe, just maybe, you should look at the rest of your life. (:
Some people, like Iris Robinson should know when to shut-up, before the become a disgrace to their country (and party I suppose).
Bill Perdue
The record is clear.
The violence was one sided. The only groups initiating violence in the English occupied part of Ireland are the English military and ‘security’ services and unionist (colonialist) DUP goons. The Irish, after seeing the depraved thugs of the Parachute Regiment ambush and murder 26 Irish civilians armed themselves in large numbers to successfully defend themselves against that kind of English/colonist violence. By the time they decided to lay down their arms it was on their terms and only after winning their defensive struggle.
My life is just fine you simple-mined self-loathing homophobic Tory twit, how’s yours. (Don’t answer that, please, people might be eating.)
As for piggies threats, really, be serious. When was the last time an American was intimidated by threats by a self-appointed loser skinhead spokesmodel for a lost empire. Not since 1775 when we began kicking the royal ass out.
I have nothing but the greatest respect for trade unionists in England who’ve always been at the forefront of the battle against royalism, racism and insularity and the loser politics of Tory twits like you. For you, the DUP, and skinhead racists in the BNP we have nothing but contempt.
B Nesbitt
Sorry to say you are wrong there, and few in NI would even try to claim it, violence was initiated both ways, with actions and retaliations, I can say that… as I am Northern Irish, and have studied the troubles!
Maybe you should actually be sure of your opinons before you post them as facts
