Here's to you, Mrs Robinson

Iris Robinson, we at PinkNews.co.uk feel, is categorically not trying to seduce us.

In fact, the DUP MP has done her utmost to insult gays everywhere.

Really, it was only a matter of time until someone did a parody of the Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs Robinson" about her, considering the fact that she feels gays are worse than child abusers.

So, here, for your aural pleasure, is the version of "Mrs Robinson", by a delightful Belfast band called the Sons of Robert Mitchum.

Enjoy.

What does Iris Robinson do now?

What a year 2008 has been for Iris Robinson, A year which sees her husband Peter receiving the highest position of government in the Province, she gets more publicity than he does.

I hope that we have not heard the last of her views on morality. Morality is not just a religious issue. It is not just a sexual issue, It is a civic issue. We need elected politicians who are not afraid to speak their minds against all the forms of immorality, that drag the fabric of our society into the gutter.

Iris now has a problem of her own making.

Now she needs to show that her views on immorality are equal, unprejudiced and balanced. And more so, since her comments to the Health Committee on the 30th June 2008. When she qualified her comments previously made on the Nolan Show. At that Committee meeting she said “Homosexuality, like all sin, is an abomination”

The comments that she made on the Nolan show to describe an abomination, which angered not only the Gays listening, were the use of emotive terms “disgusting” “loathsome” “nauseating” “wicked” and “vile”. Now, that she has told us that “......all sin, is an abomination”, those are her descriptors for heterosexual sins also.

To show that she is not homophobic, that she is equal, unprejudiced and balanced, she needs to come out now and speak in a similar fashion about heterosexual immorality. The most prevalent heterosexual sin in our society is fornication, sex between a man and a woman outside marriage. The bible tells us in Jude1:7 (KJV) Fornication was a sodomite sin practiced by the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Now the problem for Iris Robinson, as I see it, that by showing that she does not hate an individual section of our community, i.e. Homophobia, She is going to antagonize the majority heterosexual community. In my opinion there will be a relatively few families in Northern Ireland, where some member of which does not have, or has not had, sex outside marriage. And as Iris believes that all sin is an abomination, the descriptors “disgusting” “loathsome” “nauseating” “wicked” and “vile” apply to these family member's sex life outside marriage.

And it will probably in the end cost her votes in the ballot box, if not her seats altogether. Who would vote for a candidate who calls their sex life , or the sex life of a son or daughter “wicked” “vile” “loathsome” etc.?

It might boil down to, which is more important to Iris Robinson, Her faith in God and defence of the Bible, or her political career?

Which path will she take?

The preceding comment is brilliant, as is the video with it's musical recording. The surest way to topple homophobia in Ireland (personified by Mrs. Robinson)...is with the ridicule she surely deserves for her intemperate, ill considered remarks.
Stand up, Gays of Northern Ireland!
Could it be that Gay people are a means of hope for peace and civilization in all of Ireland?
I surely think so.
