Second Reading of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill
The day is breaking on one of the most important days for LGBT+ equality. The House of Commons will vote on the Second Reading of the Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Bill today. Liberals have campaigned for nearly fourty years since the Liberal Party first agreed to support the Campaign for Homosexual Equality's Law Reform Bill in 1975. The Bill will provide same-sex couples with the right to marry. Those religious organisations who wish to opt-in to providing ceremonies can, and protects those that do not. It also allows married people who change legal gender to remain in their marriages without going through the process of divorce.
