Alan Duncan: 'Thank you'

Alan Duncan MP

Alan Duncan has written to Torche to say 'thank you' for the support of our members.

The Shadow Foreign Minister, who earlier this month became the first openly gay Conservative MP, wrote to Torche to say:

'Of the 700 letters received, only 18 have been in any way anti, which suggests this is a political and social phenomenon the Party would do well to analyse and understand.

'The local constituency reaction has been fabulous, and my own association totally supportive.'

'Please convey my gratitude to all your Torche members.'

James Davenport, Chairman of Torche, told gayconservatives.com:

'Alan Duncan's letter indicates that the Conservative Party is open, decent and accepting. Right through the Party from his constituency activists to Iain Duncan Smith, the response has been warmly welcoming.

'It is also significant that Alan should report such a good reaction from his constituents. This surely indicates to the Conservative Party that there is nothing to fear and much to be gained in the direction that Iain Duncan Smith has chosen to take'.
