Rt.Hon David Cameron MP has written a letter of congratulations to George Montague, affectionately known as The Oldest Gay in the Village now in the last two weeks of his term as a Brighton Pride Ambassador,
George sent the Prime Minister to read, a copy of his new book The Oldest Gay in the Villlage, published by John Blake Publishing.
In the accompanying letter George thanked the Prime Minister for introducing Same Sex Marriage legislation and told him that for the first time in his life he would be voting Conservative at the next General Election.
In his response the Prime Minister wrote: “I am proud of the Government’s record on promoting equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and particulary of having passed equal marriage into law.
“Attitudes to same-sex marriage relationships have changed drastically over the years, moving from intolerance to widespread acceptance. The Government welcomes the change as we believe everyone should be free from prejudice based on their sexual orientation.
“I understand that you have been involved in Gay Pride events for some years, and were at Pride in London this year, as well as being elected an Ambassador for Brighton Pride 2013.
“Let me congratulate you for this, and your involvement in charity fundraising. Your commitment to the community is very impressive.”
George is supporting the Brighton based Rainbow Fund with proceeds from the sale of the book.
The book is being produced by John Blake Publishing www.johnblakepublishing.co.uk
