HOLLYOAKS STAR SPEAKS OUT AGAINST MP IRIS ROBINSON AND HER HOMOPHOBIA

Gerard McCarthy, who plays bisexual character Kris Fisher in Hollyoaks has spoken out against Irish MP Iris Robinson (See Below). Robinson, who is married to the First Minister of Northern Ireland, has been criticised for speaking out against gay people and has refused to modify her position that homosexuality is vile, wicked and an abomination, based on her Biblical beliefs.


During a June 17th House of Commons committee discussion on the assessment and management of sex offenders, Mrs Robinson said:
"There can be no viler act, apart from homosexuality, than sexually abusing innocent children."
She claims that she meant that child abuse is worse than homosexuality.


Mr McCarthy, who plays Kris Fisher in Hollyoaks, told the Belfast Telegraph that he regularly receives letters from teenagers who are being bullied because they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans.

"There should be no place for hateful and extremist opinion," he said.

"Moreover, to have a Member of Parliament advocate them must certainly be in violation of the MPs' code of conduct.

"The wife of the First Minister should be forced to resign, made to give a formal apology and retract her comments in order to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equally under the law." [SOURCE]

I am with Gerard on this. This woman is ridiculous and should not be in the spotlight promoting hatred. I am sure something will happen to her. Karma is a Bitch I hear.
