Theresa May (Born October 1, 1956) is Prime Minister of the UK and leader of the Conservative Party. She replaces David Cameron after he announced his retirement following the Brexit campaign. [1] From 2010 until becoming Prime Minister she was the Home Secretary, in which role she supported the introduction of same-sex "marriage" in the United Kingdom.[2]
In March 2017, after a deadly major Islamic terrorist attack in Westminster, May refused to admit that the attack was actually Islamic and called Islam a "great faith" — overlooking key facts about Islam.[3]
May officially initiated Brexit on March 29, 2017, when she triggered Article 50 and begun the two-year negotiations process to withdraw from the European Union. [4][5]
Early life
She was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, the only child of Zaidee Mary and Hubert Brasier.
Political positions
Former United Kingdom Independence Party leader Nigel Farage noted in 2017 that Conservative Party Prime Minister Theresa May had adopted the exact same political positions as he had a few years earlier.[6]
May and LGBT rights
In the past, Theresa May voted against equalising the age of consent for same-sex interactions, voted twice against permitting same-sex couples to jointly adopt children, and voted against a bill that would repeal Section 28, an education regulation that forbid teachers to speak about homosexuality at all unless it was related to STDs.[7]
May and religion
To the dismay of many secularists, and causing much controversy in the United Kingdom, May said that "God helps me make many difficult decisions", particularly relating to Brexit[8].
May and privacy law
May's Investigatory Powers Act was signed into law in December 2016, which requires all internet service providers (ISPs) to store every IP's internet history in the United Kingdom. This information can then be accessed via warrants issued by a special Investigatory Powers Commissioner or the courts.[9][10]
