What does David Cameron understand by the term 'equality'?

Well, well, well.
With only a week gone by since the General election, a lot has already happened. Such is the world of politics.
We've seen Gordon Brown resign, David Miliband put himself forward as possible Labour party leader, David Cameron become PM and do everything with the Lib Dem leader but formally confirm that he and Nick Clegg are officially an item.
But amongst all the trials and tribulations of arranging the so-called 'Con-Dem' cabinet, one appointment more than any other has struck me as being seriously misjudged.
And that is the assignment of Conservative MP Theresa May to the role of 'Women and Equalities Minister'.
An Equalities Minister, to me, is there to represent all groups; all sectors of society and ensure that there are equal opportunities for all. By definition, it is not a select group of people who are blessed with this 'privilege' of equality. It should be for ALL citizens.
However, I am forced into using the modal verb 'should' precisely because of who we have as our new Equalities Minister.
Theresa May has never been one to hide her homosexual views. Over the course of her career, she has made many different comments on different occasions which have offended both homosexual, bisexual and straight people. But perhaps even more worryingly, she has also voted against gay rights in the last parliament on at least three occasions - against repealing section 28, against lowering the age of consent for gay couples to 16, against civil partnerships. The fact that these views are abhorrently homophobic is not even the issue here. The issue is that this woman supposedly REPRESENTS homosexuals as well as straight people, and ensures that they have equal rights. The irony of how she has voted in the last parliament and her new cabinet position is painfully horrific.
The fact that she is pro-life with regards to abortion doesn't in my view put her in good stead as a representative for women, either.
I feel (almost) confident that David Cameron ought to be able to find just ONE Conservative MP who believes in equality, and votes according to his or her conscience. So why is it, instead of such a person, we have Theresa May holding the post of Women and Equality Minister?
This is more than a mistake. It is a dangerous and shameful shambles of a decision.
