It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality. It's like disapproving of rain.

We said in our 21st Century Party paper there are 61 mosaic groups, which the market research people use as different socio-economic categories and half of our members come from just five of those groups and that is very narrow - too narrow.

If we want to change what people think of us, then we have got to change.

They don't think we're in touch with modern Britain, or understand modern Britain or like modern Britain.

If we do what we think is right, not try to point-score, people will begin to trust us.

Our share of the vote overall rose by less than 1 per cent - yes, that's right: less than 1 per cent.

We should be the natural home for younger voters. But today we're not. Because too often we sound like people who just don't like contemporary Britain.

The problem we have is not Labour, in however it is configured.

I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.

But if we can work with people in other parties to get the right answer for the country we'll do that.

Our party has known great, great days. But we have no God-given right to survive, let alone to succeed.

We need to show that we know and understand and can reflect today's Britain. Today we don't.

For the most part our grassroots members are serious, nice, tolerant people.

So our problem is not Labour, it is us, is making us attractive enough to gain disillusioned Labour support and to compete effectively with the Lib Dems for those loose votes.

Our members are very much maligned. Obviously the average age is 60 something, but they all have children and grandchildren, they understand what we need to do, they want to win.

We should be the natural home for the millions of Britons of immigrant origin. But we're not. Because too often we've sounded like people who wish they hadn't come here at all.

It is simply the view, and a view I think shared by most members of the party, that it is very difficult to have a leader that does not command the support of the parliamentary party.

Our party believes in diversity, not uniformity.

The party at its best has always been a modern party.

Our party's committed to tackling failing schools and cutting crime.

We should be the natural home for young mothers. But we're not. Because too often we sound like people who think the only good mother is a married mother.

I do not believe we can blame genetics for adultery, homosexuality, dishonesty and other character flaws.

Jesus never said anything about homosexuality.

Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.

I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey.

In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.

Disapproval of homosexuality cannot justify invading the houses, hearts and minds of citizens who choose to live their lives differently.

I realize that homosexuality is a serious problem for anyone who is - but then, of course, heterosexuality is a serious problem for anyone who is, too. And being a man is a serious problem and being a woman is, too. Lots of things are problems.

I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it's a choice, but in fact, it's in one's nature. The choice is whether one expresses one's nature truthfully or spends the rest of one's life lying about it.

Homosexuality is like the weather. It just is.

I support non-discrimination for homosexuals, but I think, or at least I have the right to think - without saying whether I think it or not - I have the right to think, along with the catechism of the Catholic Church, that homosexuality is morally wrong.

Now when you have administrators deciding what sexuality is, and what's a taboo and what's not in terms of content, you got guys, like, Trent Lott who equates homosexuality with a disease.

I have no problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts.

From a religious point of view, if God had thought homosexuality is a sin, he would not have created gay people.

People have known of Shakespeare's homosexuality down through the ages.

But the Bible speaks against it, and because the Bible speaks against it, we allow rampant sin including homosexuality and lying, and to me lying is just as b ad as homosexuality, and we've allowed this sin to run rampant in our nation.

Homosexuality in Russia is a crime and the punishment is seven years in prison, locked up with the other men. There is a three year waiting list.

I always say that as a Christian I cannot find any passage in the Gospels in which Jesus condemned homosexuality.

I don't think the idea of homosexuality is really taboo any more. Our culture is evolving. This is an exciting time to be living.

What do you mean you don't believe in homosexuality? It's not like the Easter Bunny, your belief isn't necessary.

Muslims have a very bad attitude to homosexuality, they're very intolerant.

We will see a breakdown of the family and family values if we decide to approve same-sex marriage, and if we decide to establish homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle with all the benefits that go with equating it with the heterosexual lifestyle.

It's a good thing that columnists don't make homosexuality their last taboo anymore. But I wish the columnists themselves would come out too.

The Jews have never been ashamed of being Jews, whereas homosexuals have been stupid enough to be ashamed of their homosexuality.

I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Let me explain something when I'm talking about sin, and I'm talking about all sin. One of the biggest ones that has been talked about that has really become a debate in America is homosexuality.

I accept people for who they are and love them. That doesn't mean I have to agree or that I have to turn my back on the tenets of my faith and reject the tenets of my faith when it comes to homosexuality.
