UK Tory Leader Defends Alliance With Homophobic Party in Poland

David Cameron has today defended the Conservative alliance with a controversial Polish party in the European parliament, insisting it was not homophobic. In an interview with Sky News, the Tory leader denied that the Law and Justice party – which opposes gay marriage – was prejudiced towards gay people. Asked how he would respond to a letter from celebrities including Stephen Fry, which called on him to oppose "vile rhetoric" about gay rights from the Law and Justice party, Cameron said: "I'll respond to the letter very clearly. "I don't believe the Law and Justice party are homophobic. Poland is a Catholic country. Most of the parties in Poland do take a stance like that on issues like gay marriage. "I don't happen to agree with them, but they're not a homophobic party." Full Story from the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/oct/07/cameron-defends-alliance-polish-party
