Over at Pink News, Nick Clegg answers questions from its readers on gay marriage, homophobic violence, faith schools, LGBT asylum seekers, and many other political issues. Here’s a taster:
The number one question submitted by our readers was on whether Nick Clegg and his party support gay marriage.
