William of Orange: monarch who swung both ways

Written by

From: aidanmaconachyblog.blogspot.com

King Billy - legendary victor at the Battle of the Boyne, and hero of N.Irish loyalists - didn't just have a penchant for stallions and fine vestments, he also enjoyed the company of young men. This will be unwelcome news to Iris Robinson , homophobic wife of Northern Ireland's First Minister. Recently Mrs Robinson made the headlines with comments that could have come from some hoary prophet in the Old Testament. She said she regarded homosexuality as unnatural and "an abomination".

"If Mr Cashman was genuinely interested in hearing from Mrs Robinson, he would not have made the details of his correspondence available to the media," added the spokesman. Right, so Mrs Robinson can't reply to the letter because he told the media he had written it? Isn't the DUP's spokesman aware that MP's write letters to ministers in England and make them public? What is different about this ... Read Full Story
