Wikipedia notes that "Blunt's voting record in Parliament had previously been broadly unsympathetic towards gay rights."

Good on him though, for coming out.

Good for him.

Funnily enough, one of my aunts lives in the Reigate constituency.

Evidently late August is gay-hunting season. I happen to detest the cabinet minister who's the focus of the current swirl of lurid rumours, but that doesn't make it any less unpleasant (whether true or not). It was nice to think that we've moved beyond this sort of thing.
