The 25 year anniversary event is being held at the Magherabuoy House Hotel on Monday, November 28 at 8pm.

Speakers will be Adrian Smith and Hazelmary Bull.

Adrian was a housing manager in Manchester. When he said that same-sex weddings in churches would be “an equality too far” he was demoted and had his salary slashed by 40%. The High Court later ruled in his favour.

Hazelmary Bull ran a B&B with her late husband and was ordered to pay £3,600 to two men in a civil partnership after refusing to provide them with a double bed. The case was appealed at the UK Supreme Court.

The meeting will also be given the latest update on the Ashers bakery case.
