Are we at a new dawn for the Conservative party as they struggle to lead the country in a rather shaky coalition with the Lib Dem's? Or will be have a return to the dark old days, when equality was just a dream, when persecution for being gay was dished out, not by yobs on the street but by government!
Many in the Gay are appalled at the state of the political situation at the moment, and fear the future, under a Tory leadership.
Cameron's own voting record on gay issues and equality is pretty poor and makes grim reading for anyone hoping he really is a 'new face' of the Conservatives.
In 2002, he voted to restrict marriage to married couples and bar gay couples from adopting children. A year later, he voted against the repeal of Section 28, which banned the promotion of homosexuality by local authorities.
But in the last few years, he has done a lot to try and convince the gay press, that he is not the enemy, in the run up to the election he gave interviews with Pink News, Attitude and Gay Times, some saw through his attempt to grab the pink vote as the shame it was, others, took him and face value and waved the blue flag.
Cameron says he now believes gay couples should be allowed to adopt, that the blood donation ban on gay men should be lifted and that schools must tackle homophobic bullying. But it was only a few months ago that his party seemed to be rather shaky on gay issues, he was asked in an interview shown on Channel 4 News why he did not force his MPs and MEPs to vote for gay equality measures, rather than allowing free votes. He appeared to have been caught unaware by the question and stumbled over his answer, prompting interviewer Martin Popplewel to press him until he asked for the interview to be halted. During the election campaign his party suffered more damage as four candidates, including two members of his shadow cabinet, made controversial remarks about homosexuality.
Chris Grayling was forced to apologize after saying he agreed bed and breakfast owners should be allowed to ban gay couples, while shadow defense minister Julian Lewis claimed that gay sex was more dangerous than serving in the Army. Cameron sacked Scottish Conservative candidate Phillip Lardner for calling homosexuality "not normal", but took no action when claims surfaced about unsuccessful candidate Philippa Stroud founded a church that believed gays were possessed by demons, and that we could be 'cured'
Whilst it may be that David Cameron has changed, is more forward thinking, it's pretty clear that most of The Conservative party is not as advanced into gay rights as their leader. Many of the rank and file membership want to withdraw the civil partnership laws and also abolish the equality bill.
How long David Cameron holds on to power is unsure at the moment. Labour don't think it will be long, hence Gordon Brown's resignation as leader of the party, so they can quickly elect a new leader - possibly David Miliband or Ed Balls and fight another general election within a few months.
