We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to remove Ruth Kelly from the position of Minister for Women and Equality. More details
Submitted by Liat Norris – Deadline to sign up by: 04 April 2007 – Signatures: 6,128
More details from petition creator
Ruth Kelly is incompatible with this position as she holds views about homosexuality (and other issues) which are contrary to the equality agenda which it is her ministerial duty to promote. She has voted for motions to deny homosexuals rights to adoption, hurting chances of equality for homosexuality. The government would not find it acceptable to have a minister with a non-existent record of opposing racism in Kelly's position, and it should not be acceptable for Kelly to be in her position with a non-existent record of opposing discrimination against Homosexuality.
