Petition to remove Theresa May

[sparkindarkness]

I think a good starting point with the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia is to address a particular blight in our current blighted Cabinet, Theresa May

As I mentioned before, she is grossly unsuitable for this post. It boggles the mind that a homophobe with her record could be given this role in government. It shows not only indifference, but contempt for our rights

There is, as I’ve mentioned, a petition for her removal http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/36217.html it is not the best petition, I admit, but it is the best we have available at the moment

Theresa May’s appointment is not only par the course for a Tory government and a shockingly early indication of their respect for our rights for the next 5 years (dear gods help us) but it is also a disturbing indictment of the Lib Dem’s commitment to the principles they apparently laud. Now sharing seats in power, it seems that the Lib Dems’ willingness to compromise is great… and our rights are one of those things they’re apparently content to drop as unimportant.

The issue and presence of Theresa May as Equalities Minister is frightening both for the damage she can do – and as an indication of how valued we are by this current government.
