A Protestant church minister in the North is vowing to defy a ruling that he must not publish adverts calling homosexuality an abomination.

The British Advertising Standards Authority has ruled that the Rev David McIlveen's church breached guidelines on causing offence by publishing the ad.

It said particular care should be taken in future and it will be monitoring the Rev McIlveen future ads.

However, he says this will not influence his choice of words.
