The second member of the British Conservative shadow cabinet to enter into a same-sex partnership did so last week, it was revealed at the weekend ...
Nick Herbert, the shadow justice secretary, tied the knot with his partner Jason Eades in a south London town hall - with opposition leader David Cameron sending a message of support to his shadow secretary.
In 2008, Alan Duncan, the first openly gay Conservative MP, exchanged vows with James Dunseath in a London ceremony.
Herbert's union has received the blessing of not only his leader and gay rights groups, but also of his constituency association - perhaps the most important support of all.
The latest political gay union puts the Conservative to Labour score at 2-0, with none of PM Gordon Brown's cabinet having yet taken the plunge.
