David Cameron on gay rights
In an interview with Gay Times magazine, David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition in the United Kingdom, speaks out on gay rights.
In the past, Cameron has apologised for Section 28, the law Margaret Thatcher passed to stop schools promoting homosexuality. He has also voted in favour of civil partnerships.
However, in the European parliament, his MEPs last year refused to support a motion which condemned a new homophobic law in Lithuania. Cameron told the Gay Times: “I don’t know about that particular vote. What I do know is that we have made very clear our own views about Section 28 in this country; I couldn’t have been more clear about that.”
In the interview with the writer and broadcaster Martin Popplewell, Cameron agreed that gay equality was a fundamental human right.
