No one should face discrimination because of who they are or who they love.
It’s time for the Communities Minister to deliver the LGBTQI Strategy, and for all parties to unite against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.

2/ Data shows that economic crises & austerity measures lead to increased suicide rates.
The suicide rate in the most deprived areas is already twice that of the least deprived areas. These cuts would further widen the inequalities.

A year on from the end of the DUP boycott of government in NI it shouldn’t be forgotten that Assembly is as stable today as it was the day before the last collapse. We need to reform the institutions so that no one party can veto government in NI and prevent future collapses. #EndRansomPolitics
