Cameron leads, will Tories follow?

a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jul/02/david-cameron-gay-pride-apology" target="_blank"The Guardian reports/a that David Cameron has embarked on another major step in the modernisation of the Conservative party by offering a public apology for section 28, the notorious legislation which banned the "promotion" of homosexuality in schools.br /br /In a gesture designed to stretch credibility the Tory Leader condemned section 28 as "offensive to gay people" and predicted that a Conservative would become Britain's first openly gay prime minister. How much of a journey this has been for Mr. Cameron is indicated by the fact that he voted against the repeal of section 28 as recently as 2003.br /br /The real test though will be whether he can take the Tory Party with him on this. My guess is that many will be very unhappy at this u-turn.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8266684-6118395580953528056?l=peterblack.blogspot.com'//div
