In order to save face after home secretary Chris Grayling remarked that people should have the right to turn gay couples away from bed and breakfasts, George Osbourne of the British Conservative party said that the Tories will consider the case for gay marriage. In Britain, gays can have partnerships that have all the rights of marriage without the name. Grayling's comment caused many gay rights advocates in Britain to worry that the Conservatives would not support gays. Mr. Cameron, the new prime minister of Britain, has said that he will govern for "everyone in Britain." Mr. Cameron also said that he will change the law which causes convictions of consensual gay sex with over-sixteen-year olds to appear on criminal records.

Is the gay rights movement in Britain isolated from the one in the United States, or will progress there galvanize the movement on American soil?

Sorry, correction: Mr. Cameron is running for the office of prime minister against incumbent Gordon Brown. He is not currently prime minister.
