Education minister Peter Weir pushed back at criticism of Nelson McCausland (Northern Ireland Assembly)
Northern Ireland’s education minister Peter Weir defended DUP colleague Nelson McCausland after he shared “ex-gay” propaganda, claiming he did nothing wrong.
Weird pushed back at criticism of McCausland, who formerly represented the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) on the Northern Ireland Assembly and currently sits on the board of the nation’s Education Authority.
McCausland has defied calls to resign after sharing “ex-gay” propaganda on Facebook, having described an account of a man who renounced homosexuality as a “powerful testimony of a life changed by God”.
