The leader of the Conservative party, David Cameron, has said that no new legislation is needed to protect gay people - instead, there merely needs to be a cultural shift.
Speaking to The Independent's Johann Hari today, Cameron said that a Tory government would continue to support a number of key LGB issues, including: adoption, asylum and the blood ban, but - when asked whether he
would make any legal changes to develop equality - said: "I think it's much more about culture than
about law now."
The comments come just days after Cameron claimed that schools - including faith schools - needed to teach the spectrum of relationships; gay, bi and straight.
During the interview, Cameron also refused to brand his Polish allies in Europe as homophobic, despite Michal Kaminski, the Polish leader of Brussells' far-right Conservative coalition, going on record to
describe gays as "faggots".
"I don't believe they are homophobic. I
would not partner with parties that have racist or homophobic views."
