"In welcoming 'gays' into the party we should not ignore our existing members. Many of them will be offended, not because they are Conservative but because they are of an age that were brought up to believe that homosexuals were 'poofters'. They reflect the population at large of a similar age. We should show some understanding."John Strafford, chair of the Conservative Yes To AV Campaign.
Strafford posted this on his website in 2002 after Alan Duncan MP came out - there are calls for Strafford to resign over this and other comments found after trawling through his website.
