Well, I suppose an apology is better late than never, but I would like Mrs May to explain why she voted the way she did, so recently ?

"As an MP in 1998, Mrs May voted against reducing the age of consent for homosexual acts from 18 to 16 and four years later opposed allowing gay couples to adopt"

So I am unsure what she has to feel "proud" about ?

There are reasons for people to change their minds and you probably wouldn't accept the reason if you knew.

"I would still like to know what happened, to make May change her mind" Does it matter? It's hardly going to change your life is it.

Get used to it....the Labour Party has recently said that it intends to battle the Tories on every issue, every time, and I shall follow suit !

[Davemano]

That is pathetic, and no more comments on such topics will come from me - full stop.

Purdie in the 1960s Gay ONLY meant colourful, happy and cheerful.
There was not even an idea of gay rights.
