Cameron’s UK Conservatives Promise to consider gay ‘marriage’ in Equalities Manifesto

Shadow women's minister Theresa May made the announcement as part of the Tories’ “contract for equalities,” that she said would create “a fairer deal for gay people across Britain.”
The equalities manifesto boasts, “Since the beginning of his leadership, David Cameron has made clear the Conservative Party's commitment to sexual equality and gay rights – from his first conference speech, in which he proudly confirmed our support for civil partnerships, to his apology for our former stance on Section 28 [the prohibition against promoting homosexuality in schools].
“Whether it's our strong commitment to supporting marriage and civil partnerships, or our proposals for flexible parental leave which will benefit parents regardless of their sexuality, the modern Conservative Party is committed to a fairer deal for gay people across Britain.” Read here
