On 23 September 2014, Wells was appointed as Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety in the Northern Ireland Executive taking over from Edwin Poots. He was a councillor on Down District Council from 2001 to 2011. Wells is one of six Assembly members for South Down. Jim Wells (born 27 April 1957) is a Northern Ireland politician from the Democratic Unionist Party and formerly Deputy Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly. Faces and traces of some of the DUP’s homophobic outbursts The article also backs up gay rights activist Peter Tatchell’s article in today’s International Business Times calling for David Cameron to rule out a coalition with the DUP for their anti-human rights agenda. This article was written in response to comments made by Amnesty International programme director, Patrick Corrigan who last week warned “Northern Ireland is a discriminatory backwater for gay and lesbian people.” The human rights organisation boss also said that “Those opposing equality for gay and lesbian couples are on the wrong side of history.” After reading this you will probably think his statement is a little of an understatement. Unfortunately we have let the comments slide, like water off a ducks back. A brief history of hate that skims over the tip of an enormous iceberg of homophobia that should have ultimately resulted in the sinking of the DUP ship. Who they are, what they said and when they said it. Stop reading now if you feel you may be adversely affected by reading this type of material. Warning this article contains extremely offensive homophobic comments that could prove hard to read.
