Perhaps Peter Willows has the support of the Conservative Party on Brighton and Hove City Council because, although he may have made a stupid comment, he is not homophobic. I'm certain that if the Conservatives felt that he or any other representatives were homophobic they would not tolerate it.

Some of his party colleagues are gay and last summer the Conservatives took part in Pride. I don't think any other party has ever done this.

As far as I'm aware we have no gay councillors in Labour or the Green Party in Brighton and Hove.
