Could UK Gay Marriage Become Reality?

It would look as though yet another European nation is getting closer to ending marriage discrimination, again leaving the U.S. in the dust when it comes to the race for equality.

According to a post on Telegraph:

Lynne Featherstone, the equalities minister, said the Coalition was considering allowing same-sex couples to include key religious elements in civil partnership ceremonies.

In a parliamentary answer, she disclosed that homosexual couples could be permitted to use “religious readings, music and symbols”.

This would make civil partnerships practically indistinguishable from traditional weddings as Parliament recently removed the bar on same-sex unions in churches and other places of worship through an amendment to Labour’s Equality Act.

We’ll wait to hear more on this from Jason Shaw, gayagenda’s UK correspond
