.LGBT+ Conservatives added: ‘Imran fully endorses the values of the Conservative Party and LGBT+ Conservatives that include a resolute commitment to equal treatment and the elimination of discrimination against anyone on the grounds of their race, religion, sex, orientation, or any other such characteristic.’I have seen recent inaccurate press reports saying I am openly gay.
