Equal Marriage Law
What Happens Now?
Earlier this week, The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill completed its Third – and final – Reading in the House of Lords. the Bill will go back to the Commons for MPs to consider the amendments. If the MPs agree, which is what we expect, the Bill is passed!It will then go for Royal Assent, and become the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013.
This is a historic day for all lesbian, gay and bisexual people across the country. It’s fantastic that same sex couples will now soon be able to equally celebrate their love for one another alongside heterosexual couples – this is a huge step forward for equality.
All of us at The Lesbian & Gay Foundation want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank-you to all of our amazing supporters who ensured their voices were heard within this important campaign and its down to them that we are now within kissing distance of marriage equality.
