Scottish Conservatives go (once more) for the 'homophobe' vote
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Centre for Health and Wellbeing is has been awarded £1m lottery money from the New Opportunities Fund and is also receiving £136,000 from health boards and trusts in the Lothians and Borders. Scottish Tory health spokesman David Davidson, however, said gays and others should use the same NHS services as everyone else. He added: "I do not see why they should have a parallel health service."
I presume the Conservatives will be telling us next that there should not be special clinics for people with mental illnesses or pregnant women? Are they going to suggest that all people with particular needs should go to the same clinics or A&E units. I doubt it very much. No it is a clear case, yet again, that the Conservatives (or too many of them, at any rate) are simply bigoted and playing to the bigoted views of those whom they hope will vote for them. Fat chance!
