Ian Pasiley slams gay unions in Irish gay marriage row
In Ireland, DUP politician Ian Paisley, Jr. went off on same-sex unions upon learning David Trimble's aide Steven King had wed his long-time boyfriend Jean Claude in Canada. Paisley condemned the marriage as "offensive" and said, "It is really astounding that David Trimble should have had a man such as this giving him advice - and must surely cast grave doubts on his own political judgment. I think these sorts of relationships are immoral, offensive and obnoxious." He then said he was not speaking from a position of hatred of homosexuals. In response Bishop Pat Buckley called Paisley "the baby dinosaur of the 21st century."
