Nigel Evans, Conservative MP for Ribble Valley and deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, has revealed that he is gay.
He is the 22nd MP to come out of the closet.
It has always been harder for Conservative politicians than those from other parties to admit openly that they are homosexual, given the Tories' continual promoting of traditional family values.
However, in 2010, times and attitudes have changed.
We now live in an age where couples are able to have their relationships recognised in law by entering into a Civil Partnership. Being gay is no big deal.
Mr Evans is to be applauded for helping to continue the Tories' march into the twenty-first century.
