It is South Antrim. Thank you. I appreciate the Member's giving way again. He referred to objections to the Bill as homophobic and transphobic: I am neither of those things. I was able to quote, when I spoke previously in the debate, from the ongoing conversations that I have with my trans woman friend — a man who transitioned completely to a woman. I do not have an issue with that, so I am not transphobic. I am not homophobic. I challenge what you have just said. Large groups of people, including the Gay Men's Network, oppose the Bill. Are you going to tell me that they are transphobic and homophobic?
