But the prime mister voted ernment time to the gay marriage legislatn the belief that would help reach out to centre ground voters who may feel unfortable about supportg a party whose lear voted favour of the retentn of sectn 28 as recently as ten years divisns among Tori was highlighted when Sir Gerald Howarth, knighted on the advice of the prime mister last year when he sacked him as a fence mister, warned of an "aggrsive homosexual muny" durg a clash wh a member of Cameron's policy board. Howarth ma the remarks when Margot Jam, a fellow Tory MP who is a civil partnership and who was recently appoted to the new Conservative policy board, said that the equal marriage legislatn would level the playg field after gay people suffered discrimatn the 1980s.
I believe that the pendulum is now swgg so far the other way and there are plenty the aggrsive homosexual muny who see this as but a steppg stone to somethg even further. However, a blog on his mpaign webse now says is an “anomaly” that mted lbian and gay upl are not nsired married and that removg genr om marriage laws is the “next logil step” for gay equaly. Mr Miliband, the former foreign secretary, wrote: “It is an anomaly that gay upl – although they n ll each other hband or wife – n’t say they are married.
This will mean gay upl will be able to scribe themselv as married. “We should not force church, mosqu and synagogu to officiate over gay marriag but equally we shouldn’t stop those who want to, ” he add.
