claus 28 is long gone and was a dark period for all, some labour folk supported it or it would have never gotten on the books dont forget that, and one councillor is not the entire party, plus i im pretty sure he was condemned for saying it, under the torys homosexuality was declassified as a mental illness i believe, im no fan of the torys but thats down to their economic stance over the years, on gay rights they have been pretty good compared to others over the years, so i would not be so quick to throw them all under a bus.
