The Chair of Newry Rainbow Community says a woman who carried an anti-DUP placard in the Belfast Pride parade did so in anger.
Rory Rafferty's comments follow those of MLA Jim Wells who says it was a hate crime and wants to press charges.
The placard criticised the DUP using a four-letter word.
The assemblyman is also calling for the woman to be charged with grossly offensive behaviour and for being in contravention of Parades Commission regulations.
Rory told Q Radio's Iveren McCallion that the DUP must look at the bigger issue:
Teenager killed and child left in critical condition after Belfast road crash
Stormont leaders and chief constable in show of unity against station attack
Firefighters continue to battle ‘soul‑destroying’ wildfires in Mourne Mountains
Political leaders unite to condemn ‘cowardly’ attack on PSNI station
