If Pitcairn Island Can Do It, You Can Northern Ireland! #equalmarriage

Last month Pitcairn Island legalised same-sex marriage. One small little British outpost (of 56 people) in the Pacific Ocean managed to be more liberal in a shorter space of time than Northern Ireland which is part of western Europe.

Come on Northern Ireland (and the Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey etc.). If the Seventh-day Adventist Pitcairn Islanders can do it, you can too!!!

Also they managed to do it in a gender-neutral, and vastly superior way, when compared with England and Wales' attempt.

Not that this is the first time the Pitcairn Islanders have been ahead of the curve...

I've just seen that Pitcairn Island, thanks to UK's laws, is well ahead of other territories in Polynesia on LGBT issues #imperialpride

Can Iris Robinson Avoid Insulting Homosexuals For A Second?

Is it me or does Iris Robinson (MP) have an unhealthy interest in (mostly male by the sounds of things) homosexuality?

First we had her infamous comments a couple of months ago, now we have her describing homosexuality as more disgusting than child abuse!

But... before we rush too quickly to judgement let us remember this is actually very Biblical. God did not like homosexuality, but the sexual abuse of female children was pretty much encouraged in the Old Testament. Those are the kind of Christian values she seems to embrace, gotta love the religion of love!!

So kudos to her for maintaining such Biblical standards, I just hope she's kept up her observances of the many other crimes listed (not eating shellfish, not wearing clothes made of two types of material etc.) and also her support for slavery. If not then I'd call her a "hypocrite" and hope that if there is a God he smites her forthwith.
