SDLP Youth Support Equality And Against Dup Bigotry

category national | gender and sexuality | press release author Monday December 11, 2006 18:14author by Socialist - SDLP Youth Report this post to the editors

SDLP Youth today protested against the DUP motion to deny gays and lesbians protection against discrimination. In the Assembly, the SDLP voted for equality and against a DUP motion.

SDLP Youth University & Colleges Officer Peter Armstrong said: “In opposing the Equality Act the DUP are supporting discrimination, intolerance, bigotry and homophobia.

“SDLP Youth are saying the scare tactics created by the DUP are untrue and completely unacceptable. Contrary to what has been claimed, the Equality Act will not prevent the teaching of religious beliefs.

”This is not against religion. This won’t stop any religious teaching in school. Its main aim is to prevent bullying against young people in school because of their sexual orientation. It allows those who identify as gay or lesbian the same rights as anyone else. SDLP Youth strongly believe that every citizen should have the same equal rights.”
