Shea speaks three decades on
A well-known gay rights activist says Tynwald Day would be 'pointless' if demonstrations weren't allowed to take place.
Alan Shea was at the centre of a major campaign against Manx laws banning homosexual activity, and famously presented a petition of grievance on the Island's national day in 1991.
Yesterday saw the promulgation of the Island's first Equality Bill, which outlaws discrimination in many forms - including on grounds of sexuality.
Mr Shea is encouraging people to continue fighting injustice on a day synonymous with protest:
'Isle of Man could drive drug reform innovation'
Noble's Emergency Department 'well under the size that it should be'
Bakery in Peel closing
Garff by-election: Candidate would like to see bins across parish improved
