Comments on: Tory Spokesman Condemns Plans for Gay Army Couples http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-72.html/ PinkNews.co.uk Gay News (UK and world) from Pink News - all the gay news for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community in the UK and beyond- thegaynews from Pink News Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:58:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Nicky http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-72.html/comment-page-1/#comment-33941 Nicky Sat, 16 Aug 2008 19:35:51 +0000 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-72.html#comment-33941 I see that Gerald Howarth views the MOD's plans to provide gay couples registering a civil partnership with the same rights as straight married couples as 'quite upsetting for families in the married quarters'. I wonder with what authority he speaks on their behalf? In my experience, of over 2 decades of Army service, there are thankfully very few families who would fall into the category of small minded, intolerant bigots that this truly undesirable and out of touch politician so clearly festers in.
