Conservative candidates set out their views, policies, and plans for LGBT rights in coming leadership election. LGBT+ Conservatives asked each of the candidates to talk about their record, and what they intend to be their focus if they become the next Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister.
The devils are in the detail as Craig Hanlon-Smith questions if the next Prime Minister should be decided by the Tory blue rinse brigade rather than the country at large. Any relief at the early withdrawal of Stephen Crabb, a front bench Government minister with links to a Christian organisation that offers cure therapies to LGBT teenagers, soon dissipated with a cursory glance at the final three.
Andrea Leadsom MP, one of the three remaining candidates in the race to be the next Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party fails to respond to LGBT Tory about her views on LGBT issues.
Theresa May MP the present Home Secretary has announced today that she will be standing to be leader of the Conservative Party. Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven will be supporting Theresa May in her bid to become the next Tory leader after David Cameron’s resignation last week.
