Activist Calls on Tory Leader to take Concrete Steps on Gay Rights in UK

In the last few years, Cameron has stepped up efforts to appeal to the gay community and it was claimed in May that outreach to gay groups was one of his top five priorities.

However, gay rights activist Peter Tatchell has said that Cameron and his party are "all talk and no action" on gay rights.
