Dad Arthur's outrage at 'disgusting' online abuse

Legal action possible over homophobic slurs

- SIOBHAN O’CONNOR

ARTHUR Gourounlian said he is considering legal action over vile abuse spewed at him and husband Brian Dowling about their road to parenthood.

The couple were inundated with kind messages following the release of a documentary tracking their surrogacy journey with six-month-old daughter Blake.

But Armenian-born Arthur, 42, revealed they were taking legal advice after one troll levelled disgusting allegations at the pair.

The Dancing With The Stars judge told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “It’s only one per cent, the other 99% have been incredible.

“The bad comments have been ‘you’re depriving your child from [sic] its mother. Another – ‘you chose to be gay so you renounced your right to be parents’.

“It’s disgusting. It’s evil. It’s homophobia... some people think being gay it’s a sin to have a family.
