Requesting Theresa May's Resignation from the Post of Equalities Minister

This petition was published by Lucy on May 13, 2010

We, the undersigned, call on Theresa May to resign, or be removed, from her post as Minister for Equality for the United Kingdom.

We believe that Theresa May should not occupy the post of Equality Minister when she has a voting record that attempted to deprive the homosexual community of their rights, and limit their rightful position as equals within our society.

We feel that, in light of this, she is not appropriate for the position as she has not been a positive force for the cause of equality in this country. Her appointment is symbolically counter-productive as it suggests that there is not a more appropriate person for the job who has been positively campaigning for gay rights.

We would also question her commitment to implementing effective change in this country considering her own views. Her appointment is therefore both intrinsically and instrumentally unacceptable.

Therefore, we ask for her immediate resignation from this post and for her replacement with a more suitable candidate.
