International development secretary Justine Greening has announced she is in a relationship with a woman, in a tweet sent during Pride celebrations.
Greening, who campaigned for a Remain vote in the EU referendum, becomes the second openly LGBT member of the cabinet, after Scottish secretary David Mundell announced he was gay in January.
Today's a good day to say I'm in a happy same sex relationship, I campaigned for Stronger In but sometimes you're better off out! #Pride2016
