McAleese accuses Churches of being ‘conduits for homophobia’ following Sligo deaths

The former president of Ireland Mary McAleese has accused the major Churches in Ireland of being ‘conduits for homophobia’ following the deaths of two men in Co Sligo.

Ms McAleese said when her gay son got married, she was grateful to live in a country where he and his partner can be together in relative safety, however, she added she is conscious that is not the case in other parts of the world. Ms McAleese said there is “always homophobia, there is always the hatred” that can crop up, adding that there are parts of the world her son “simply cannot visit”.
