NI Health Minister Edwin Poots has failed in his attempt to challenge the British Supreme Court’s ruling to grant adoption to gay couples in Northern Ireland. Currently, a single gay or lesbian person can adopt in Northern Ireland but a couple in a civil partnership cannot.
The Health Minister has also tried to prevent gay people from becoming blood donors. An online petition calling for his resignation currently has almost 8,500 signatures.

Patrick Touher, collapses while protesting with fellow senior citizens outside Leinster House this afternoon.
From Photocall Ireland:
According to [photographer] Laura [Hutton], Patrick was helped up. They sat him down, he was conscious, and an ambulance came for him. We don’t know if he got in or if they just tended to him there. Though according to people who were at the protest, despite it being a big event for old age pensioners, there were absolutely no medics on site…
Patrick is the author of The Fear of The Collar about his childhood in Artane Industrial School.

Update: Patrick was back on his feet after being tended to by ambulance staff.
One of three films by AirBrush Action Magazine showcasing the considerable skillz of master pinstriper Glen Weisgerber, who has been hand-detailing ornate script onto cars, guitars and motorbikes since the early 1970s.
It’s like RTE’s Simply Painting, only with Slash instead of Frank Clarke.

Heart sinking stuff.
