Tory equalities minister who voted against gay marriage now ‘fully committed’ to LGBT rights

Caroline Dinenage was appointed as Minister for Equalities today
The new Tory Minister for Equalities who voted against same-sex marriage and previously said the state has “no right” to redefine marriage, has said she “supports the law on same sex marriage.”
Caroline Dinenage, the MP for Gosport,was appointed by Prime Minister David Cameron today as the Parliamentary under secretary of state at the Ministry of Justice and the minister for equalities at the Department for Education
In 2013, she told a PinkNews reader that the “state has no right” to redefine its meaning of marriage and that “preventing same-sex couples from being allowed to marry takes nothing away from their relationship.”
Caroline Dinenage has now told PinkNews: “I know that some of your readers will be concerned about my voting record on same sex marriage however, I want to be clear – I am fully committed to advancing the cause of LGBT equality and support the law on same sex marriage.
