What is LGBT conservatism?
'''LGBT conservatism''' refers to a socio-political movement which embraces and promotes the ideology of [[conservatism]] within an [[LGBT]] ([[lesbian]], [[gay]], [[Bisexuality|bisexual]], [[transgender]]) context. '''Gay conservatives''' may also refer to lesbian or gay persons with socially and/or economically conservative political views. The number of openly LGBT advocates for conservative policies has only become increasingly apparent since the advent of the modern [[LGBT civil rights movement]] in the 1970s while many more LGBT conservatives remain closeted in countries where other [[socially conservative]] politicians have led the most organized [[opposition to LGBT rights]] efforts as well as the backlash from liberal and left-leaning LGBT social activists. In 1975, the [[Conservative Group for Homosexual Equality]] (CGHE) was founded in the [[United Kingdom]] by [[Peter Walter Campbell]]. It was the first LGBT conservative [[organization]] ever.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://voice1nthecrowd.blogspot.com/2014/10/peter-campbell-conservative-party.html|title=The Dissident: Peter Campbell, the Conservative Party Paedophile behind Gay Marriage|first=Tony|last=Aster|date=19 October 2014}}</ref> There are those who are LGBT people who believe in economical (or other form of) conservativism and there are LGBT people who believe in [[Social Conservatism]] and they don't accept LGBT rights (like same sex marriage, civil unions, adoption). ==References== {{reflist}} {{politics-stub}} [[Category:LGBT]] [[Category:Conservatism]]
