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:
MGP visitors urged to protect belongings at ports
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
