DAVID CAMERON: GAY PRI? OF URSE I HAVE GAY PRI!

I was prime mister, drivg forward a bill that would allow gay people to get married. For ten years now, gay upl have been able to get married.

I DISLIKE DAVID CAMERON, BUT HE WAS RIGHT ON GAY MARRIAGE

Gay marriage quickly beme one of those reforms that ends up a permanent fixture: no party would serly ntemplate s repeal. It may have been dly ntroversial at the time, but gay marriage quickly beme one of those reforms that ends up a permanent fixture: no party would serly ntemplate s repeal. There are some perfectly good arguments to be ma that Cameron don’t serve real cred on gay marriage.

Some would claim Tori such as Gee Osborne and Boris Johnson were braver on gay equaly.

DAVID CAMERON: MY WIFE SAMANTHA NVCED ME TO TRODUCE GAY MARRIAGE

“It was only through long nversatns wh lleagu, iends and my wife, Samantha, that I beme nvced that nyg gay upl the abily to get married ma them feel like their love for one another unted for ls than straight upl, ” he Cameron said he uld ‘always’ see the practil arguments favour of gay marriage (Getty)“It wasn’t jt about symbolism – they wanted to show mment to one another the same way as heterosexual upl. ”Mr Cameron, who had “somethg of a nvert’s zeal myself” wrote that he uld “always” see the “practil arguments” favour of gay people beg allowed to get ex-PM, who qu polics after losg the EU referendum 2016, also scribed attendg his first gay weddg after the law me to effect.

”Mr Cameron’s aln ernment ultimately passed the Marriage (Same Sex Coupl) Bill wh a large majory beme law the followg year, allowg same-sex upl to marry civil ceremoni and relig ceremoni where the church has “opted ” Church of England and the Catholic church still do not regnise same-sex marriag, although the former recently said would perm misters to bls civil 2023 marks 20 years sce Sectn 28, the law that banned the ‘promotn of homosexualy’ the UK, was Month started on 1 June and the ma event London, expected to attract more than a ln visors, tak place on 1 July and will feature paras, parti and protts. He tells Michael that he always knew he was gay, but he thought if he worked and received higher tn he uld be anythg, cludg straight.

David Cameron said the troductn of same sex marriage was one of his proust moments as Prime Mister, havg worried and “wobbled” over the issue the face of some heated opposn wh the Conservative his tobgraphy, Mr Cameron says he do, however, regret abstag om votg on a motn put by Tory lleague Ia Dunn Smh to block gay upl’ right to adopt children, rather than votg agast .

INTRODUCG GAY MARRIAGE ONE OF MY PROUST MOMENTS: FORMER PM DAVID CAMERON

So I don’t support gay marriage spe beg a Conservative, I support gay marriage bee I am a Conservative. ”Mr Cameron still laments, however, his actn over an ultimately unsuccsful bid to prevent gay people om adoptg.

DAVID CAMERON APOLOGIS TO GAY PEOPLE FOR SECTN 28

“I also end up abstag on — rather than votg agast — Ia Dunn Smh’s rejectn of gay upl’ right to adopt, ” he said. Guardian journalist Owen Jon tweeted a simple “no” rponse to the news, while almost two thoand others retweeted an attack on Cameron cg the alarmg 147 per cent rise homophobic hate crim sce the EU referendum vote.

DAVID CAMERON STUMBL THROUGH TERVIEW ON GAY RIGHTS

I don’t buy the Tory iology, but I do buy his ’s an often fotten fact that David Cameron backed equal marriage before Barack ObamaGay rights aren’t pots to be sredHistory has a tenncy to be re-wrten.

Cameron and Clegg uld have done their time Downg Street whout a gay rights fight – wasn’t any party manifto. When I terviewed Tony Blair for Gay Tim’ 30th anniversary, he told me he regretted not gog for full marriage equaly ernment.

David Cameron has embarked on another major step the mornisatn of the Conservative party by offerg a public apology for sectn 28, the notor legislatn which banned the "promotn" of homosexualy a gture hailed by gay rights mpaigners as "historic", Cameron nmned sectn 28 as "offensive to gay people" and predicted that a Conservative would bee Bra's first openly gay prime Tory lear, who voted agast the repeal of sectn 28 as recently as 2003, reached out to the gay muny on Tuday night at a Tory fundraisg event lked to Gay Pri this weekend. "Y, we may have sometim been slow and, y, we may have ma mistak, cludg Sectn 28, but the change has happened, " Cameron said of the repeal of the legislatn origally passed 1988 when Margaret Thatcher was prime remarks reported by the Pk Paper, he admted that he did not have a "perfect rerd" on gay rights, a reference to his cisn 2003 to vote for the retentn of sectn 28.

DAVID CAMERON SAYS LEGALISG GAY MARRIAGE WAS ONE OF HIS REER HIGHLIGHTS - FOR AN EXTRA SPECIAL REASON

But he add: "It do give me great pri to be standg here to celebrate Gay Pri and all you have achieved. "If five years ago we had a Conservative and Gay Pri party, I don't thk many gay people would have e or many Conservativ would have e.

DAVID CAMERON REVEALS HE 'WORRIED AND WOBBLED' OVER GAY MARRIAGE

The Conservativ had the first woman prime mister and we are bound to have the first black prime mister and the first gay prime mister. "Did Mr Woodward orr a survey of lol opn about the issue that triggered his rignatn – clse 28 and the promotn of homosexualy schools?

DAVID CAMERON SAYS HE IS ‘PROUD’ OF GAY MARRIAGE BILL

"However as recently as last year, Cameron alarmed gay and lbian mpaigners by votg to rtrict accs for lbian upl hopg to nceive children through vro fertilisatn (IVF) the surprise of Tory mornisers he supported a Commons amendment by the former Conservative lear Ia Dunn Smh that would have strengthened existg laws to make IVF clics nsir the "need for a father and a mother" before allowg women to beg fertily treatment. Exceptnally good gay themed movie.

I am always pleased when I see a gay themed movie wh good actg, an engagg story, and high productn valu. Chad Connell put a very strong performance as an emotnally nflicted gay man as he go through a major psychologil crisis.

WATCH DAVID CAMERON'S POWERFUL FAL GAY PRI SPEECH TELLG PEOPLE TO 'BE YOURSELF'

The film has lots of ndy eye, but that don't seem to be a problem for an homophobic dience, sce the plot velopment not is too aggrsive, at least om my pot of view. The story pulled me and even though the plot twist at the end which I won't reveal (spoiled other reviews anway) isn't as well executed as one might hope, still took me by surprise and felt actg by lead actor Chad Connell as Daniel is by far the bt aspect as he livers a solid and rtraed, subtle yet effective performance as a tormented gay man tryg to e to grips wh his realy.

Gay man mental breakdown yawnathon. OK so I thought to myself "hmmm gay films are never ually that good.

The 't get me wrong, I totally get why they did this and I'm not sayg didn't make sense bee did, but jt h me the gut when they revealed a lot of gay films out there suck.

A POLICIAN SHOWS REAL COURAGE ON GAY MARRIAGE

In fact, I serly don't know how the producer got the money to create this movie wh such polish (then aga, this is a Canadian film, so I'm sure they got a public grant for their required quota of gay films per year).

This is one of those gay films that I'll e back to and thk about how ma me feel.

Gay-themed psychologil drama.

If you are not seekg an actn-oriented film, but more of a character study wh eye ndy, then I would remend this film as most gay- themed films have vapid characters and unimagative plots. It's not too bad but 's kda bad pared to other gay-themed movie. Here we have a gay paranormal story about a hot, succsful talk show host who be disabled wh panic attacks, which stem om a childhood trma.
