The Prime Minister told a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender reception in Downing Street of hispersonal pride at legalising gay marriage.

 Addressing an audience that included BBC presenter Clare Balding and her partner, the former newsreader Alice Arnold, Mr Cameron boasted that Britain was now ‘the best place to be gay, lesbian or 

transgender anywhere in Europe’.

Pride party at Number 10: The PM told a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender 

reception in Downing Street of his personal pride at legalising gay marriage and

vowed to export it around the world. (File picture)

But he risked controversy by suggesting that his ministers should now fan out across the globe tospread gay marriage around the world.

‘I’m personally proud of this,’ he said. ‘I think it’s a really good step. I’ve told the Bill team I’m now going toreassign them because, of course, all over the world people would have been watching this and we’veset something of an example of how to pass good legislation in good time.

‘Many countries are going to want to copy this. I talk about how we’ve got to export more, so I’m going toexport the Bill team.

'I think they can take it around the world.’

'A very good speech': Clare Balding was among the prom inent gay figures who

attended, along with her partner, former newsreader Alice Arnold

Gay marriage was passed by Parliament despite fierce opposition from some Tory MPs and grassrootsmembers, who were angered by the Prime Minister prioritising the issue over economic problems.

But Mr Cameron signalled that he wants to go further in pressing gay rights. He told the gathering:‘There’s still a lot more work to be done.

'There’s work to be done talking to our Commonwealth partners about decriminalising homosexuality invarious countries.

‘There’s a lot of work to be done on homophobic bullying in schools, which is still a scourge in our country. There’s a lot of work to be done in terms of hate crimes and how we stop and stamp that out inour society.’

The reception was also attended by gay rights campaigners and senior Tories including InternationalDevelopment Minister Alan Duncan and former prisons minister Crispin Blunt.

Miss Balding, who is set to marry Miss Arnold, said: ‘It was great – a very good speech by the PrimeMinister.

‘He said that he had delivered on a promise and he was very proud to have done so.’

During the event Mr Cameron, together with his team of ministers behind the legislation, signed a copyof the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013.

He said: ‘I think of young children growing up at school, who might be uncertain about their sexuality,

knowing that now, in the highest place in the land – in Parliament – we’ve passed this law that says thatmarriage is for you, whether you’re gay or whether you’re straight. And that is so important to youngpeople growing up.’

Legal at last: Gay marriage w as passe d by Parliament despite fierce opposition from

some Tory MPs and grassroots m em bers, who wer e angered by the Prime Minister 

prioritising the issue over economic problems

But some of his MPs remain angry.

Former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth said the issue was ‘deeply divisive’ for the party.

He accused the Prime Minister of ‘seeking to extol a fundamental change in society for which he has nomandate’ and which had been rejected by his MPs.

There are many who tolerate "gay" marriage but oppose it in principle, finding this propos al to actually promote it quite

abhorrent. With this statement, after having put the quite acceptable "civil partnership" on a par with marriage, Cameron

will alienate many erstwhile conservative supporters. This may be just one iss ue to consider when choosing who to vote

for, but it is an important one, and I will be voting for whoever reverses the "gay" marriage law because I believe "gay

marriage" is a contradiction in terms.

This man has become a laughing s tock. Either Conserbvatives MP's need to exercise some control over him or they

should be working on their golden farewell package and next sinecure. (Meanwhile the increase in population continues

unabated and a vote on the EU is s lowly immersed in red tape.)

This man will do absolutely anything to try and win votes. i have no problem with Gay people legalis ing their commitment

but it was not necessary to redefine marriage to allow that to happen, civil ceremonies already existed. However, apart

from that, there are far more important issues causing concern at the moment but this idiot could not care less . He is

definitely still a PR guy, it is all about sound bites for the moment. i'm sure the selector's have already realised their grave

mistake in electing him party leader. Please can we have a Conservative PM who cares about Conservative values. On a

personal note Dave, why don't you go and promote Gay marriage yourself, take the next 10 years or so to ensure no-one

is missed.

This m atter should never have got the priority it was given by the government. Whilst the economy is still floundering,

despite what they say, cameron goes on this crusade instead concentrating on the task of getting the country back on its'

feet.

Proud? You should be utterly ashamed of yourself and when you stand before God to give an account, you wil l be

quaking in your shoes. I hope the other countries tell you where to go. As for the Queen condoning it and giving her 

approval by signing the Bill, she has a lot to answer for and should also be asham ed. What an absolute disgrace. End

days, definitely. God simply will not have His laws rejected without huge repercussions.

 Another reas on why the Tories need a new leader,someone who is actually a Tory and not a social engineering liberal !

Wish he would pursue issues that affect the majority of people with the same enthusiasm.No matter how many

minorities he panders to,he needs to get the lions share of everyday voters to win another term.
