From the Guardian:
Senior Tory tells Republicans to embrace gay rights
Nick Herbert, the shadow environment secretary, backs Barack Obama’s move to allow gay people to serve openly in the military
A senior Conservative politician will today tell American Republicans that they should back gay rights because support for homosexual equality is “an essential element of modern conservatism”.
Nick Herbert, the shadow environment secretary, will also back Barack Obama’s plans to allow gay people to serve openly in the military – a move that is opposed by senior Republicans.
