AFP: Brown's wife takes part in gay pride

The wife of Prime Minister Gordon Brown took part Saturday in London's latest gay pride march through the streets of the capital's main shopping district.

Sarah Brown carried a pink, red and white version of the British national flag as she marched down Regent Street, joined by a colourful procession of people.

the biggest laugh is David Cameron touting himself as the friend of the LGBT community.

Given how he campaigned in 2001 in favour of the anti-gay clause 28 I ain't convinced

Cameron, who succeeded Woodward as MP for Witney at the 2001 general election, mocked his opposition to section 28. "Did Mr Woodward order a survey of local opinion about the issue that triggered his resignation - clause 28 and the promotion of homosexuality in schools?" Cameron wrote in a letter to the Daily Telegraph in September 2000.

The future Tory leader voted to retain Section 28 in the 2003 Commons vote which led to its abolition.

A politician with a track record of being a homophobic bigot doesn't convince his mind has changed just because it's politically expedient. He has to do more than this. Standing on stage at Gay Pride is easy, it's what he does the other 364 days that matters.
