Elections: Ask

Stonewall have put together some information for the elections tomorrow.
Not quite sure I understand the over-simplistic message they're using in the "snazzy election visuals" above, though.
Vote for whoever you like? Really?!
Stonewall often end up tying themselves in mealy-mouthed knots like this by having to be - or pretend to be - politically non-partisan.

Here are some questions they suggest you ask;
"Why not ask your local candidate their views on LGB equality? Will they be supporting the implementation of the Public Sector Duty? How will they protect vital services for LGB people in your area? You could also ask what plans your local authority has to tackle homophobic bullying in schools or hate crime in your neighbourhood."
Which seem fair enough, as far as they go.
