Chris Smith, Baron Smith of Finsbury Biography

Chris Smith, Baron Smith of Finsbury is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on July 24, 1951 in Barnet, United Kingdom.

He worked for a housing charity and became a councillor in the London Borough of Islington. He came third at Epsom and Ewell in the 1979 general election before narrowly winning the seat of Islington South and Finsbury at the 1983 general election, defeating George Cunningham, who had ultimately defected to the Social Democrats from Labour. Cunningham stood again at the 1987 general election when Smith retained the seat.

In 1984, he became Britain’s first gay MP to choose to “come out”. There had been several gay MPs before this whose homosexuality had been common knowledge in some circles, including their constituents in some cases, but they had not been completely open about it. (Maureen Colquhoun had earlier been effectively “outed” by press revelations.) During a rally in Rugby, Warwickshire, against a possible ban on gay employees by the town council, Smith began his speech: “Good afternoon, I’m Chris Smith, I’m the Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury and I’m gay.” This was unscripted, and the decision to include it in his speech was made at the last minute. He immediately received a standing ovation from most of the audience.
