In an historic interview, Stonewall award winning journalist Johann Hari, one of David Cameron's most vocal critics, grills the leader of the Conservative party and asks the questions that every member of the gay community needs to know the answers to before the forthcoming election.
In 2005 Tony Blair appeared on the cover of Attitude. Now, 20 years after the devastating anti gay law Section 28 brought in by Mrs Thatcher's government, David Cameron says his party has changed. But have they? Up until now, no one has had the chance to put Mr Cameron to the test.
Attitude Senior Contributing Editor and Stonewall award winning writer Johann Hari - one of Mr Cameron's fiercest critics - asked the questions that otherwise would have remained unanswered. He spent an hour with the Tory leader grilling him about his voting record, calling him to account - and asking him if the gay community can trust the Conservative party. Or if his pro gay conversion is simply to win votes... You can make up your own mind by reading the interview yourself.
Inside the issue, veteran gay journalist Terry Sanderson looks at the history of homophobia in the Conservative party and two writers - one Tory (Matthew Parris) and one Labour supporting (Stonewall veteran Simon Fanshawe) give their opinions on whether David Cameron and his party have changed and can be trusted to support gay rights.
