New DUP leader: Marriage is between a man and a woman
The new leader of the largest political party in Northern Ireland, Arlene Foster, has said that her party “very firmly” believes that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Foster will become Northern Ireland’s First Minister in January, after she was backed to become the leader of the DUP by the party’s MPs and Assembly members.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, she said civil partnerships are the way that same-sex relationships are recognised in Northern Ireland.
