Gay marriage in the Queen's Northern Ireland

[jman0]

"Ian Paisley Jr was last night accused of stoking homophobia in Northern Ireland after saying a senior political adviser should not work for the Ulster Unionist party because he had married his gay partner."

Deeply conservative and religious Northern Ireland - where Ian Paisley senior once led the "Save Ulster from sodomy" campaign - is struggling with a growing problem of homophobic crime.

Last year a DUP councillor was found guilty of harassment and fined after making homophobic taunts against a council candidate while canvassing."

It has been my observation folks that there are certain posts that appear from time to time in the Breaking News discussion here at DU, on the topic of Ireland, Northern Ireland or the IRA, that are FREEPER posts (British ones); and this article hopefully will illuminate just who and what those British Freeper types stand for, or stand against as the case may be.
So here are the political representatives of the largest Unionist parties in the Queen's British Northern Ireland, facsist and nazi as always.

3. o no my friend, not "Ireland's"

Ian Paisley (senior and junior) would be disgusted to be called "irish". They are the Queen of Englands Loyal subjects my friend. British to the bone.

4. Except the British don't think so

The country's name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northen Ireland. He's Irish.

6. try telling that to him, and their Orange Order Loyal subjects

In fact, i'd be willing to wager they both carry British passports, and not Irish ones.

7. They would be UK passports actually.

And he still doesn't represent the Queen, or anyone outside of his party.

5. He has what official capacity ?

He may call himself British, but does he work for the Queen ?
