It is perhaps the ultimate struggle for many people. A decision that would divide many to the very core. Usually many people would be happy seeing people throw stuff at McDowell thinking he deserves everything he gets. But who do they support when it is Anti-Gay Catholic extremists. This is a real moral conundrum

A conference last Friday to discuss legal rights for same sex couples was infiltrated by members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Mother and Child and The National Mens Council of Ireland

The anti-gay protesters screamed at the minister as he tried to formally open the conference and then they hurled a copy of the Constitution at him.

They were heard to say "why do you want to pimp my child", "are you in favour of buggering our children"

The men had mingled with the crowd before the meeting opened and stood up screaming abuse once the minister took the podium.

The fracas was videoed by members of the mother and child group.

When some of the men left they also physically threatened conference delegates until they realised the TV cameras were on them
