James
Davenport, Chairman of Torch, has hailed the 2002
Conservative Conference fringe 'a resounding success'.
Starting
with a big-screen video outlining Labour's failure
to deliver on its promises to the gay community,
and the progress within the Conservative Party,
the event then moved to a Question Time-style
debate. Panelists were Angela Mason - Director
of Stonewall; Cllr Brian Coleman GLA - Conservative
Group, Greater London Authority; John Bowis OBE
MEP - Conservatives in the European Parliament;
and James Davenport - Chairman of Torch.
James
Davenport, Chairman of Torche, said at the meeting:
'We've
come a long, long way in a few short months. The
Conservative Party is reconnecting with its core
value of individual freedom, and this can only
be good for the gay community. Theresa May was
right when she said that if we want to return
to power we have to trust the people with their
own lives; after all, that's just what Conservatism
is all about.'
