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:
Ard-Shirveishagh hopes he's given members enough time to consider 'Charter for Change'
Live video streaming 'significant step' in making parliament more accessible
Treasury: 'Challenging to justify support for heating oil customers'
Increase of more than 500 patients for mental health services over last 12 months
