Why put on a special party for a group of people just because they are Gay?

It would appear one has to belong to a minority group in this country, before one gets any recognition.
If the Government of the land find a need to put on special parties at No.10, why not put them on for people who have achieved something good for their country, instead of a group of people who's only achievement is their particular sexual preferences.

I find myself unimpressed with any politician who feels the need to exhibit their so-called 'cool credentials' to the meida, and thus to the electorate.
From my experience, gay people are not stupid. they know that the Tory party has a lamentable history of homophobia and reactionary views, and are unlikely to be impressed by this media-friendly sop which, if i were gay I would find deeply insulting,
Mr Cameron would do better by providing an encompassing attitude, and not simply cherry-picking sections of soceity and insulting them by thinking he can woo their votes by giving jelly and ice-cream to prominent individuals who'se only common link is an aspect of sexuality.
I never thought I'd say it, but I entirely agree with AOG!

Only achievement? So then AOG - these are all under achievers eh? Nuryev, Nijinsky, Oscar Wilde,Michelangelo, Leonard Bernstein, Terence Rattigan, Gielgud, Guinness, Redgrave, Errol Flynn, Josephine Baker, Elton John, Dusty Springfield, Virginia Woolfe, Noel Coward, Michael Tippett, Navratilova, Fashanu, Saint-Seans, Cecil Beaton, E M Forster, Tennessee Williams, Tchaikovsky........
May one ask what your achievement is then - I know you are already a minority group.
Have you ever considered going to one of the Queen's garden parties?

ttfn - i don't think AOG is making the point that gay people are non-achievers, rather that the apparent raison d'etre of this party is to entertain celebrities etc., purely on the basis that they are gay. AOG takes issue with the notion of inviting individuals purely on the basis of their orientation, and i think that's a valid point.
