Lesbian style icon Keir Starmer boasts gayest parliament in the world
Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer proudly boasts having the "gayest" parliament in the world. To celebrate Pride Month, Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted a reception at 10 Downing Street for LGBTQ+ community leaders. A social media video from the event posted on Tuesday, local time, showed Starmer talking with attendees while a speaker jokingly referred to him as a "lesbian style icon". Britain recently set out major plans to criminalise abusive and harmful therapies intended to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. It comes as the Prime Minister announced last week he would step down after months of pressure over the party's poor poll ratings and local election setbacks.
