A 23-year-old west Belfast man is taking legal action against Iris Robinson over her controversial comments on homosexuality.
Robert Toner from Poleglass has also written to the Equality Commission asking them to back his complaint over the first lady's anti-gay remarks.
Last night he told the Belfast Telegraph: "It is very, very hurtful to think that someone says I need psychiatric help because I am gay. It is totally uncalled for, it is totally horrendous that a public representative has said this.
"The majority of members of the gay community have been very welcoming to the fact I am taking legal action. And the heterosexual community welcomed it too. Most people agree that something needs to be done about Iris. I am confident that with the support of the Equality Commission we are going to win this.
