"Mrs Robinson yesterday attempted to clarify her position to the Assembly after Health Minister Michael McGimpsey explained that it was accepted within international psychiatric and psychotherapy circles that homosexuality was not a mental disorder.

Alliance North Down member Stephen Farry has asked the minister to confirm that homosexuality was biologically determined and not something that needed a cure.

Mrs Robinson said: "People have attempted to suggest that I indicated that homosexuality was a mental health issue. Nothing could be further from the truth. What I did say was homosexuality, like all sin, is an abomination. "
