Still homophobes too, quelle surprise!

From ConservativeHome - an update on those grassroots surveys of the social policy paper:

Members divided on tax allowance for same sex couples:

"Only 564 members answered this question compared to the 1,417 who answered the questions highlighted earlier today.  The question was added to the survey a number of hours after the survey had gone live - following David Cameron's suggestion on Channel 4 News that any married couples' allowance would also benefit same sex couples who had entered civil partnerships.

"37% of the respondents agreed with David Cameron that any allowance should benefit such same sex couples but 49% did not agree that gay couples should receive the allowance.  A further 10% of this population of 564 disagreed with any tax allowance for married or same sex couples."

Unless, of course, these are the Tories that wanted to have full-blown marriage for same sex couples as well instead of civil partnerships. But somehow, methinks it's the old majors and blue stockings choking on their Cornflakes at the thought of those queers getting the same treatment as married couples.

I wonder if the answers would be any different if, say, the proposed allowance were only available for couples, of any gender, raising children?
