I am intrigued with how Cameron is going to address in intrinsic homophobia which exists within the Tory party, now he is in coalition with the LibDems who are the most welcoming party to LGBT people. Chris Grayling and Philippa Stroud come to mind, as well as IDS’s ties to Stroud (which in itself is worrying) and as for Theresa May’s voting record on LGBT issues, well that is another (planned) post, in which I will investigate how she has voted in regards LGBT legislation, including the repeal of s28, equalisation of the age of consent, the equalities act etc…

From what I recall, her voting record does not exactly inspire confidence and in her new role as Home Secretary, this is worrying. However, if the past Labour Home Secretary’s are anything to go by, the role itself is akin to a poisoned chalice and perhaps will be her un-doing!
