No place for homophobic or misogynistic attitudes – McGuigan

Sinn Féin MLA Philip McGuigan has said there can be no place for homophobic or misogynistic attitudes in society. 

The North Antrim MLA was speaking after outrageous comments made DUP councillor John Carson.

Philip McGuigan said:

“Comments like those from John Carson are disgraceful and should be withdrawn.

“There can be no place for homophobia, sectarianism, racism, misogyny or any form of discrimination in our society, unfortunately in some quarters these attitudes remain.

“All such comments need to be faced down and challenged.”

Tonight the Government voted to make ordinary people's lives more difficult.

Fianna Fáil Fine Gael & the Greens voted to hike petrol & diesel prices TWICE in October, & rejected a Sinn Féin plan to provide struggling homeowners with mortgage interest relief. It's time for change

Great to meet Sarah & Sonya of @WomensAidNI today.

Ending violence against women and girls needs to be a priority for us all so we are hugely concerned that as a key partner Women’s Aid Federation’s core funding from @healthdpt will end in days & urge their funding be continued.
