LGBT history

An e-petition by Josh Cunnington calling for the Government to create an LGBT Community Group for Northallerton was rejected as not falling within the Govenment's area of responsibility.[1]

In January 2014 the MP for Thirsk and Malton, Anne McIntosh, was deselected by her local Conservative Association following a record of voting against equal marriage and other measures for LGBT equality.[2]
