The South West LGBT Greens are urging voters in our region to recognise the threat from the British National Party.
The BNP has also denounced homosexuality as “form of behavioural
deviancy” and “not a valid lifestyle choice”. Griffin claims the BNP
speaks for “the majority of the population” who, he says,
believe“homosexuality is wrong” and that it “needs to be pushed
humanely but firmly back into the closet”. Griffin warns that if gays
continue to “press their aims further” there will be an “almighty
backlash” which will result in the imprisonment of all homosexuals.
Spokesperson for the South West LGBT Group Ryan Cleminson said, "Peter Cranie, our lead candidate in the North West of England, is fighting the BNP, a party we all know to be racist, homophobic and out-spoken. But, it is not just in the North West people should see the BNP as a threat to diversity ... but all over the UK."






The Green Party is today launching eight pledges for equality for LGBT people. Joseph Healy and John Hunt from London, Lesley Hedges from Yorkshire and Humber and Chris Williams from West Midlands are standing as openly gay and lesbian Green Party candidates in the European election.

The co-founder of Rockstar energy drinks and DJ, Michael Savage, is on a new list of people banned from the UK for 'inciting hatred'. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith says she's happy to 'name and shame' the people on the list.
