May's appointment as Minister for Women and Equality was criticised by some members of the
LGBT rights movement,
[115] because she had voted against lowering the age of consent (in 1998) and against greater
adoption rights for homosexuals (in 2002), though she had voted in favour of civil partnerships.
[116][117] May later stated, during an appearance on the BBC's
Question Time, that she had "changed her mind" on gay adoption.
[118] Writing for
PinkNews in June 2010, May clarified her proposals for improving LGBT rights including measures to tackle homophobia in sport, advocating British society's need for "cultural change".
