Conservative Party to fully support homosexual ‘equality’ agenda

Printer-friendly version The Conservative Party has announced on its website a series of initiatives designed to win over homosexual voters.

The Conservative Party has announced on its website a series of initiatives designed to win over homosexual voters.

The Party claims that their new plans ‘address the real problem of homophobic bullying in schools’ and promise to amend the law ‘so that men with convictions for consensual homosexual sex would be able to apply to have those convictions omitted from their CRB certificate’.

The official website reports that a key part of tackling homophobic bullying in schools is to give teachers and heads the power to keep order and set clear standards of behaviour.

‘Under Labour, homophobic bullies excluded from schools can be returned to the classroom by a bureaucratic appeals panel, and teachers are often unable to break up violent homophobic bullying because of ‘no touch’ policies that prevent them from intervening.

‘The Conservatives will give head-teachers the final say over the exclusion of homophobic bullies and give teachers the power to stop violent homophobic incidents,’ it says.

Speaking on 10 April 2010 to PinkNews, an online newspaper for homosexuals, Conservative leader David Cameron announced that a Conservative government would amend the law so that men with convictions for homosexual sex would be able to apply to have those convictions omitted from their CRB certificate.  He said that it was ‘a question of justice – and it’s right that we should change the law and wipe the slate clean’.

Mr Cameron had made it clear that the Conservative Party supports the homosexual community and wholeheartedly supports homosexual ‘equality’ agenda.

‘We are totally committed to the fight for gay rights and there will be absolutely no going back on equality legislation if a Conservative government is elected next month’, he said.

‘We have backed tougher legislation to crack down on gay hatred and we will extend tax advantages and new rights to flexible working to those in civil partnerships’.

On 17 February 2010, Nick Herbert, the openly-homosexual Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, said that homosexuality may be ‘given by God’ and that a Conservative Government would legislate to promote ‘gay equality’.

He travelled to Washington DC to tell American Republicans that they should back homosexual ‘rights’ because support for homosexual equality is ‘an essential element of modern conservatism’.

He also said that the Conservatives were sympathetic to groups, such as the Quakers, who wanted to offer homosexual couples religious wedding ceremonies but were currently barred by law from doing so.
