The young man twitting from a handle, Jay@stand4jay.12h did not mince his words when he described the action taken by his family as ignorance and bigotry.

"Total respect for you both. My nan was disowned by her family in the early 50's for marrying my grandad who originally came from Nigeria (she was from Co. Mayo) She chose love over ignorance and bigotry and the rest is history #diversity...," he said.
