A tweet by Edwin Poots at the weekend has been reported to the Assembly's commissioner for standards. The Green Party say the tweet linked homosexuality and paedophilia. The tweet - supporting a letter by TUV MLA Jim Allister criticising Pink News for calling Prince George a 'gay icon' , read: "Totally supporting Jim on this one, making children an icon of sexuality today, pedophilia (sic) tomorrow. Absolutely disgusting." The Green Party launched a petition and will deliver it to the commissioner. Stephen spoke to the party's equality spokesperson Malachi O'Hara.
