Answer
We have regularly stated our commitment to producing a Sexual Orientation Strategy in the Assembly and in the text of the good relations strategy, Together: Building a United Community.
To achieve this commitment we asked officials to commence a public consultation process. The first phase of this process ended on 6 June.
Analysis of responses to this 12 week consultation period has begun and the results will be used to inform the content of a draft Sexual Orientation Strategy.
The draft Strategy will be referred to the Executive for final agreement and publication. A further 12 week period of public consultation will then take place.
We would anticipate that the Sexual Orientation Strategy would be published after this final phase of consultation.
