London Assembly member Andrew Boff was escorted from the premises on Tuesday, after heckling Ms Braverman during her speech.
A senior elected Tory was ejected from the Conservative conference for heckling Suella Braverman as she railed against the “poison” of “gender ideology”.
In her set-piece speech, the Home Secretary had criticised “gender ideology, white privilege” and anti-British history, adding: “The evidence demonstrates that if you don’t challenge this poison, things just get worse.” Asked if he had planned the protest in advance, he said he attended the speech to “hear from her own mouth what her views were”.“It is making our Conservative Party look transphobic and homophobic,” he told reporters.
A patron of the LGBT+ Conservatives group, Mr Boff told PA: “Children should be loved in a stable environment. The more love from more family members the better.Ms Cates had acknowledged that families come in “all shapes and sizes”, the “vast majority” she said do their “absolute best in very difficult circumstances”.
Asked after the speech for the Legatum Institute think tank if there is evidence to suggest mothers and fathers are better for children than single-sex parents, Ms Cates said “absolutely”.
