Assembly clashes over gay rights

An NI assembly motion condemning government plans to introduce equality legislation for gays, lesbians and bisexuals has fallen after a tied vote.
After a two-hour debate at Stormont, 39 assembly members voted in favour of a DUP motion and 39 against.
The party claimed the new legislation could place Christian-run businesses on the "wrong side of the law".
DUP sources claimed the vote was tied because Sinn Fein was "able to use the vote of a deceased asssembly member".
West Belfast assembly member Michael Ferguson died in September. The St Andrews Agreement Act enables parties to use the vote of an assembly member who has died but has not yet been replaced.
