    Default The DUP Block Gay Marriage. Was it the Right Decision?

    Yesterday, the DUP blocked gay marriage in Northern ireland. Today we take a look at why that happened and ask if that was the right decision.

    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

    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.
