The Conservative Member of Parliament for Bishop Auckland, Dehenna Davison, has come out as bisexual in an interview with the right wing news channel GB News. According to the Guardian, Davison said that she had received nothing but support after her announcement, the first time that a bisexual female Conservative MP has come out. Ms Davison said “ I don’t want being bi to be considered a big deal. If I did a very public kind of coming-out parade, that would be me saying there’s something really unusual about this and trying to make a big deal of it when to me it’s not. It’s just part of who I am.” The LGBT+ Conservatives group wrote: “We’re so proud of our friend DehennaDavison! We welcome her to our community with open arms and are so excited to continue working with her as she enters this new chapter in her life.” The LGBT+Conservatives Group is a lively network active within the Parliamentary and national Conservative Party and has considerable membership.
