Same-sex marriage: Arlene Foster criticised for 'childish' online abuse comments
Arlene Foster is "childish" and "disingenuous" for saying that online abuse is partly why the DUP is unlikely to change its view on same-sex marriage, Alliance Party leader Naomi Long has said.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where gay marriage is not legal.
Mrs Foster said the DUP would use a petition of concern to block any change to the law over the next five years.
A petition of concern requires a cross-community majority in the assembly.
Last year, a majority of MLAs voted in favour of same-sex marriage. but the motion was blocked by a DUP when it deployed the petition.
