Tories are holding a conference on gay issues

What on Earth are the Conservatives up to. I suspect that events like this contribute negatively to the heterosexual majority view on gay rights. I mean surely there are other more important issues that need to be dealt with by the Conservatives right now.

What about a conference on civil liberties or perhaps one on the European constitution and European integration in general. Even better one on family issues, as Ms. Widdecombe said:

Here we are, supposedly the party of the family. We are not offering a family summit, we are not offering a fathers separated from children summit, what we are actually offering is a homosexual summit.
