Calling on Mrs Robinson to accept the offensive nature of her words in her latest outburst on homosexuality, North Belfast Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly said the gay community already suffered an intolerable degree of discrimination and attack.
“Iris Robinson's comments come on the back of several ill advised and poorly judge statements from a woman who is not only the wife of the First Minister but the chairperson of the Assembly Health Committee," he said.
"Her words undermine the sterling work of groups such as the Rainbow Project who were recently hosted in the Long Gallery Stormont.
"I accept that she has since retracted her words, but what we need to see now is a change in her attitude and an acceptance of the fact that these words and statements are deeply, deeply offensive and hurtful to members of the gay community and their families."
