'End homophobia' - Anderson
Everyone has a duty to tackle homophobia in society, Foyle Sinn Féin MLA Martina Anderson has said.
Ms Anderson made the comment after new figures were released showing that more than 64 per cent of attacks on the lesbian and gay community go unreported.
“The fact that homophobic attacks continue with a high incidence and that those attacked do not have the confidence to come forward and report the crime is an indictment of our society as a whole.
“More needs to be done to tackle the scourge of homophobia and homophobic attacks. These are hate crimes and they need to be denounced by all of us,” she said.
