But there is still more to do, and we will continue to champion equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people. We will build on the posthumous pardon of Enigma codebreaker Alan Turing, who committed suicide following his conviction for gross indecency, with a broader measure to lift the blight of outdated convictions of this nature. Thousands of British men still suffer from similar historic charges, even though they would be completely innocent of any crime today. Many others are dead and cannot correct this injustice themselves through the legal process we have introduced while in government. So we will introduce a new law that will pardon those people, and right these wrongs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Tories are actually proud of wrecking the institution of marriage! \u00a0And they want to do more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8509\" style=\"width: 218px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"David Cameron counting the ways 'gay-marriage' has destroyed real marriage.\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron-600x825.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cameron.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Cameron counting the ways &#8216;gay-marriage&#8217; has destroyed real marriage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>They want in particular to tear up the convictions for men convicted of sodomy and gross indecency. \u00a0No doubt that will benefit some of the older political class.<\/p>\n<p>On page 63 of their manifesto they say:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will outlaw groups that foment hate with the introduction of new Banning Orders for extremist organisations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let&#8217;s be fooled that this just means Islamic groups. \u00a0It means any group the Government doesn&#8217;t like. \u00a0If you are Christian Voice or Abort 67 (cannot think of any other groups really upsetting the apple-cart just now &#8211; your suggestions please?) then stand by for dawn raids and all your equipment being confiscated.<\/p>\n<p>At her coronation on 2nd June 1953, Her Majesty the Queen took an oath to &#8220;Maintain the laws of God and the True Profession of the Gospel&#8221;. \u00a0That oath is binding on her ministers, who, according to Romans 13, are also &#8216;ministers of God&#8217; to us &#8216;for good&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Ask your Conservative candidate if he\/she agrees with the manifesto on these points. \u00a0Do they support &#8216;gay marriage&#8217;? \u00a0If any\u00a0do, what Christian can possibly vote for them?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conservative Manifesto page 46: &#8220;We will champion equal rights and correct past wrongs. \u00a0Our historic introduction of gay marriage has helped drive forward equality and strengthened the institution of marriage.
