Steve Gilbert MP: "Why we must be fighting for full same sex marriage equality now"

Steve Gilbert, Lib Dem MP for St Austell and Newquay, has written on equal marriage for Pink News. The piece comes ahead of the Liberal Democrat party conference where Delga's Marriage Without Borders policy motion will be debated by Lib Dem party members.

Equal marriage is already policy of the Scottish Liberal Democrats.
