Cameron Apologises To Gays For Section 28: Law To Ban Promotion Of Homosexuality In Schools Was Wrong, Says Tory Leader
By JAMES CHAPMAN 02nd July 2009
David Cameron has issued an extraordinary apology on behalf of the Conservative Party for legislation banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools.
He said the party had 'got it wrong' when it introduced Section 28 in the late 1980s.
It is one of a series of apologies Mr Cameron has made for his party's actions in government.
The Scots received one in 2006 for having the poll tax imposed on them a year before it was introduced in England.
The Tory leader's latest remarks, during an appearance at a Gay Pride event, were attacked last night by traditionalists on the Right of his party.

Did Cameron apologize for the Tories passing the Corn Laws? Very disappointed about this. This manis in all likelihood the next PM and instead of Thatcher the UK will get another Clinton/Obama.
WHAT! He thinks it should be "promoted"?
Sick Sick Sick
I thought it wasn't a "choice?"
Does that mean queers will seek reparations?
I think they had it right to begin with.

..at least this is a silver lining in this affair, that there are sill cultural traditionalists in Britain, heck If I were over there, really I’d be a UKIP member (at least they are libertarian-free market oriented) wheras I have heard the “Conservaitves”..Tories (most..) are litte more than RINOS if they were here in the United States of America.
I’m not British, but IF I were, I would get heavily involved in the Tory Party (if not join UKIP on the European Level) and promote Daniel HannenSp? (as Leader-and persuade him to run for parliamet, not just EUP).
They should be apologizing for its repeal. It sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Why should homosexuality be promoted in schools? People have a right to different views on it in a free society.
