Via Gay Politics Report: British prime minister declares strong support for marriage equality

British Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking to his Conservative party's conference, has come out strongly in support of extending marriage rights to same-sex couples. "I don't support gay marriage despite being a Conservative. I support gay marriage because I'm a Conservative," Cameron said, explaining that conservatives believe in individuals binding together to support one another. Religious leaders responded that they'll try to stop Cameron and his coalition government from legalizing marriage for gays and lesbians. PinkPaper.com (U.K.) (10/5), The Telegraph (London)
