Veramente si becca una legnata di critiche ogni santo dì, soprattutto perchè non ha partecipato al gay pride di londra.

When she became Minister for Women and Equality, she was criticised on both
BBC Radio 5 Live, and on the front page of
The Independent of 10 May 2006, for having failed to support a single measure in favour of homosexual rights since 1997 when the Labour government came to power. It was pointed out that she had absented herself from votes on such issues as equalisation of the age of consent, and gay adoption, and had voted for a motion that would prevent same-sex couples from adoption. Out of fourteen votes during the
Blair government that have concerned equal gay rights, Ruth Kelly has only attended two.
[20] Kelly was also criticised for refusing to comment on whether she considered that homosexuality is a sin. Gay-rights activist
Peter Tatchell commented: "Tony Blair would never appoint someone to a race equality post who had a lukewarm record of opposing racism".

In a letter published in The Times on May 11th, 2006, the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Westminster, UK, voiced criticism to allegations that Ruth Kelly’s Catholicism might be considered incompatible with her role as Equality Minister.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor wrote "Ms Kelly may well be scrutinised for her fitness in office. That is a political judgement. But her Catholicism should not be a criterion in forming that judgement."
[23] However, the criticism to which this responded was not that she was a Catholic, but that she allegedly holds views about homosexuality (and other issues) which some hold as contrary to the equality agenda which it is her ministerial duty to promote. Many practising, but dissenting Catholics (including, for example, the wife of the Prime Minister
Cherie Booth QC) do not hold these views.
The Observer newspaper reported on 15 October 2006 that Kelly had joined the Prime Minister in seeking to exempt churches from new laws prohibiting discrimination against homosexuals in the provisions of goods and services, and in employment.
[24] In the light of these reports, the
Liberal Democrat Equalities spokesperson,
Lorely Burt, called for Kelly to give up her responsibility for equalities, claiming Kelly's personal beliefs were incompatible with defending gay rights.

magari sono critiche giuste, ma non si può dire che chiunque sia dell'opus dei è fascista. altrimenti si dovrebbe dire il governo blair è composto anche di esponenti fascisti.
