As someone who was somewhat involved with various lobbying groups on this issue, as well as attending most Prides from the late '70's until fairly recently, I can't recall ever seeing a Conservative M.P. at these events. I do however recall seeing many Labour M.P.s, the most memorable of which being the first openly gay cabinet minister Chris Smith, at Clapham Common in 1997, when he told the 200,000 people there that his government promised to change the law regarding equality. Something they did.
You tied the knot yet Acrylic-bob?
