It's terrifying that in this age and point in our development as a society, there are still people that can't care enough about a person's wellbeing to just accept who they are.  'And the most terrifying thing is that we as an island consistently vote him in to represent us.'  In a statement released shortly after the allegations surfaced, Mr Turner said has decided it is time for a new generation to be given the chance to be MP.< eod>< sod > This is because (and this is a direct quote) he thinks that homosexuality is 'wrong' and 'dangerous to society' 'At the time I was completely shocked, he was a person who was supposed to represent us, who is supposed to be our voice and defend our views and he was saying that people who have elected him are a danger to society. 'It took a while to process it, that people who are in Parliament in our governing party can still have these views which I thought had died out in the 20th century,' Mr Sheard said.  Mr Turner did not respond to calls yesterday. Dave Stewart, the Conservative leader of the Isle of Wight Council, described Mr Turner's comments as 'very disappointing'. He added: 'I could not condone in any way the comments by Andrew Turner and I feel he is right to stand down. Island Conservatives are fielding several candidates in next week's council elections who are gay and this is most certainly not an opinion that either myself or anyone else in the team of Conservative council candidates would ever support.' Mr Turner has faced controversy before and came within a whisker of deselection at the 2015 election because of the revelations about his fiancee and his adviser. Local Tories had feared the traditionally safe seat would be lost amid allegations Mr Turner had become a 'laughing stock' on the island.< eod>
