During the course of the in depth interview, Ian Paisley Jnr, aka ‘Baby Doc’, insists that he is not a political clone of his father. There is however, no denying that his political and religious views have been shaped by the Reverend.

Asked by Hot Press to give his views on same sex marriages being introduced in the UK, Paisley Jnr says, “I am pretty repulsed by gay (sic) and lesbianism. I think it is wrong. I think that those people harm themselves and – without care about it – harm society…. I mean, I hate what they do.”

Also in the issue is a 16-page Live At The Marquee supplement, interviews with The White Stripes, Dolores O'Riordan, The Pale, Cold War Kids and plenty more.

It's available in shops from today (Thursday 31 May) at just €3.50.
