DUP opposes British move to give gay people equal rights
The Northern Assembly is due to debate a DUP motion today opposing the British government's decision to give gay people equal rights in the North.
Under the Equality Act, discrimination against homosexuals in the provision of goods and services is specifically outlawed.
The DUP says this should be an issue for the Stormont Assembly and not the British government, but Sinn Féin and the SDLP both oppose the DUP motion, accusing the party of bigotry.
