Blair's Gay Gordon

It seems that the Prime Minister did "a little skip" at seeing the first Civil Partnership ceremony on television.

Tony's speech to the lesbian and gay rights campaigning group Stonewall is just as important as the positive policies introduced for LGBT people since Labour came to power in 1997.

Who would have thought that a Prime Minister would address an LGBT function of this kind years ago when all the parties had hostility towards gay rights in their numbers? But here we are and it is a big step. Of course we cannot rest as there are those who would still deny LGBT people the hard won rights.

In the meantime, I am left with the thought in my mind of Tony sitting in Number 10 with a G&T doing his little skip and thinking, was it a Gay Gordon? I imply nothing!
