Pipe down alex ...
here sulky
Chris Smith has been changing the face of British public life for 20 years. He was Britain's first openly gay MP, the first gay cabinet minister and is now the first political figure to admit to being HIV-positive, during a career which saw him become one of the country's key decision-makers.

'My name is Chris Smith. I'm the Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury, and I'm gay'.

It was with those words, his hands shaking as he spoke, that Smith finally publicly acknowledged the sexuality he had kept secret for a decade, and became Britain's first MP to come out of the closet. His unparalleled honesty earned him a five-minute standing ovation.

It was November 1984 and the then opposition spokesman on National Heritage had accepted an invitation to address a protest meeting in Rugby called after the Conservative-run local council had just abandoned a policy which outlawed discrimination on the grounds of sexuality.

When New Labour won its first election landslide in 1997, Smith became the first gay cabinet minister in political history when Tony Blair made him National Heritage Secretary, although the so-called 'Ministry of Fun' was renamed the Department of Culture, Media and Sport weeks later.

how fascinating kizzy. did you hear that France recently legalized gay marriage? I wonder when the UK will catch up... maybe after yall are done dancing on Thatcher's grave, you can get down to real issues again. that would be cool.

I'm off tomorrow, but I certainly won't be watching. I'd actually rather see if I can fill my bath up with piss and bathe in it for the duration of her funeral

Good post.
jesus he doesnt bow to the tory scum does he good on him.

"David Cameron has actively avoided ministers question time session for 4 weeks running" sounds like a coward to me.

Galloway might be a decent orator when it comes to rhetoric and cliches but the man is a complete tool and always has been
