Timeline
In February 2015, Givan proposed a Northern Ireland Freedom of Conscience Amendment Bill, after controversy and legal action arose over a religious bakery, "Ashers Baking Company", having refused to bake a cake in support of same-sex marriage. This motion caused uproar on popular websites like Twitter, having led to an American petition against the bill, receiving 100,000 signatures in 48 hours. Stephen Fry promptly commented on this bill, saying that it was "sick" and that "once again the religious right twist truth to present themselves as victims". On October 10, 2018, the British Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of the bakery, stating that the refusal was related to the choice of order and not the customer's sexual orientation.

Martin McGuinness claimed the removal of the Bursary Scheme as "the straw that broke the camels back" in his resignation speech from the role of Deputy First Minister of the Northern Ireland Assembly leading to a political crisis in the Stormont Executive.

He had asked her how much she charged, and said she was exploiting disabled people by not giving them discounts.
Givan was first co-opted to the Northern Ireland Assembly in the 2010, replacing Jeffrey Donaldson.

The motion was passed by Lisburn City Council in September 2007 and the controversial DUP recommendation by its Corporate Services Committee that it write to post primary schools in the area asking what plans they have to develop teaching material in relation to 'creation, intelligent design and other theories of origin'.
