What the petition asks
On Friday 21st November Sam Gyimah took an undemocratic course of action to prevent the passing of a vital law by denying the house to appropriatly debate the passing of Turings Bill.
His actions not only prevented the course of democracy, but denied thousands of gay men and women legal justice.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The resignation of an individual Minister is not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
