GOP Hosts "Gay Summit" - Republican congressional leaders are today hosting a "gay summit" in an bid to regain credibility among the homosexual community. The event, held on Capitol Hill and to be addressed by some of America's most prominent gay public servants, will suggest measures such as nominating a teacher within each public school to aid students bullied over their sexuality. Meanwhile, a senior Democratic congressional source called it a "hollow, opportunistic stunt" and said gay voters would remember the Republicans' record, not their words.

As if. That's the report from Britain, about the Tories, as reported in today's Guardian. Happy April Fool's, a couple of days early.
