No, but we know that the DUP are just Neanderthals

Nope but anyone who thinks the north more tolerant than the south or open sexually are utterly kidding themselves
I've seen escorts here say the south more backward coz of the church
But sorry the north run by bigots always was -

agree there annabel... Presbyterian churches take a dim view of LGBTs.

It is not that the North is particularly narrow-minded, but that it is run by a mixture of Presbyterian and Catholic bigots.
Even so, the vote passed by a narrow margin, but was blocked by the DUP (effectively the political wing of the Free Presbyterian Church) using a “Partition of Concern” , a mechanism designed to prevent sectarian and bigoted legislation, not, as it was used here, to facilitate it. -

Sorry but Northern Ireland is Europe's Middle East, nowhere else does religious division have such an impact on Politics or society.
I'd rather explain black history to some hick from Tipp than the separation of (all) church and state to someone from the North. -

There seems to be a role-reversal going on.
Now that the English are leaving us at the mercy of our own politicians, we seem to be moving back to the 1950's.
The south seems to be making progress towards a modern liberal society. -

A cross-border survey commissioned by RTÉ and the BBC has found two-thirds of respondents were either fairly or very comfortable with a close member of their family marrying someone of the same sex.
So this is not just a case of the politicians exploiting prejudice to obtain votes but they are (and churchmen) actually driving and creating prejudice.

04-11-15, 16:30justfrank44Ah now there's no need to be going all fancy with your links and facts, down with that sort of thing. As an old uncle of mine was fond of saying, never,never,never!!!!:cool:Quote:

Just been to a gay wedding, it was a lovely day, the only people who missed out was Belfast hotels and bars as the happy couple brought nearly 250 people from Belfast across the border for the big day. a great party :)
Sad thing is when they go back across the border the DUP etc say they are not married!!
