The Conservative party in the United Kingdom has been noted fot its attitudes to homosexuality. These have changed over time from a hostile attitude under Margaret Thatcher during the 1980s, to a more accepting approach in the 21st Century under David Cameron.

Enoch Powell was co-sponsor of a Bill on homosexual law reform in the 1960s.

Attitudes in the 1980s and 1990s

Alliance with Polish Law and Justice Party
In June 2009, David Cameron formed an alliance with the Polish Law and Justice party (PiS). The new alliance caused some comment in the United Kingdom media, due to the Law and Justice party's attitudes to homosexuality. The party's leader Urszula Krupa was a co-signatory to an open letter written to the Polish people, which stated that homosexuality was a "pathology" undermining the sanctity of the family.
