Almost 50,000 people have joined a Facebook grouprequesting the resignation of equality minister Theresa May for over her voting record on gay rights, while 10,000 have signed a related petition demanding the same thing.
Conservative MP Ms May became the only the country's second-ever female home secretary when named in David Cameron's new Tory-Liberal Democrat coalition government Cabinet this week.
Campaigners claim that Ms May voted against the repeal of section 28, voted against lowering the age of consent in homosexual relationships to 16 and voted against gay adoption rights.
