Britain Legalises Gay Marriage As Queen Elizabeth Gives Assent by princesammmy: 5:11pm On Jul 17, 2013
Britain legalised gay marriage on
Wednesday after Queen Elizabeth II gave her
royal assent to a bill approved by lawmakers,
the culture ministry said.
Same-sex couples will be able to marry from
next year after Prime Minister David Cameron
pushed the legislation through against the will
of dozens of his own Conservative lawmakers.
Members of parliament cheered as they were
told the historic bill, pushed through by Prime
Minister David Cameron despite opposition
within his own party, had passed into law.
The first gay weddings are expected in the
middle of next year as the government is
sorting out issues such as the impact on
pensions.
“This is a historic moment that will resonate in
many people’s lives,” said Culture Minister
Maria Miller, whose department was
responsible for the bill.
“I am proud that we have made it happen, and I
look forward to the first same sex wedding by
next summer.”
Lawmakers in parliament’s lower House of
Commons formally approved the bill on
Tuesday night, a day after the upper House of
Lords gave it the nod.
The queen’s assent, given in her capacity as
head of state, was then announced in both
chambers of parliament on Wednesday, at
which point it became law.
“I have to notify the House in accordance with
the Royal Assent 1967 that Her Majesty has
signified her Royal Assent to the following
acts… Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill,” John
Bercow, the speaker of the House of Commons,
told MPs.
The cheers that greeted the news belied the
stormy passage that the bill had through
parliament, during which many of Cameron’s
Conservative lawmakers opposed it.

Marraige is and will always be between a man and a woman. I am not homophobic but i think gays should be satisfied with civil unions and not try to give what has been since the start of time a new definition.

The anti christ which is the world system has taken over the west. This is scary, the end of the world is closer than we thought.

Soon is the one world govt and currency, the world will then be governed completely by the system and nothing like religion or believes.

Once there is one currency, if you must trader or do business with those countries, yoy have to use the same currency.

And if u must have the same currency, u have to abide by the law binding them.

With our greedy leaders in africa who will always go borrowing, it is only a matter of time before they sign the agreement with the antichrist system for money.

Every religion will be abolished. Christians will be persecuted for disobeying the world law to worship another GOD besides the god of the world system.

We r laughing over it on NL but its getting closer.

I am so sorry for humanity, when men will the path ordained by God and nature and venture into paths that is anti nature. If man was marying, can human beings come into existence.

The worst thing that has happened to our world is secularism, where men do anything that comes to their mind, without any inhibition. We will see where they will end up on this path they have chosen.

And please African leaders should never allow this kind of abomination, to be permited openly on our lands, instead let it remain as a shameful and secret thing.

Keeps fingers crossed. I'll hope I'm alive a decade from now to see where this will lead, especially in the Netherlands which first took this step. Of course, I think it's safe to predict that the ranks of gays and bisexuals will swell in such countries over time.

exactly..i will rather live in a country where two consenting adults are free to choose their sexuality. Than a country where the destruction and expliotation of defenseless kids is backed up by law.
