Dr Adrian Rogers is the former president of the Conservative Family Institute. In 1997 he ran against the openly gay Labour candidate Ben Bradshaw in Exeter. He argued that homosexuality was 'sterile, disease-ridden and God-forsaken'.[1] The Conservative Family Institute was closed in 1999 following criticism from inside the Conservative Party.[2]
