Same sex marriage legalisation approved in England and Wales
This is one step forward. Now it's just Scotland left.
[QUOTE]The Commons voted in favour of the The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, by 400 to 175, a majority of 225, at the end of a full day's debate on the bill.
Prime Minister David Cameron has described the move as "an important step forward" that strengthens society.[/QUOTE]
For once, something right has happened.
EDIT: It needs to go through the House of Lords now..

Would you consider yourself a defender of the Constitution? Would you risk your life to defend the constitution? If you answered yes, you are now a supporter of gay marriage. - In [i]Loving V Virginia[/i], the Supreme Court determined that marriage is a fundamental right. - and under the 14th amendment, all citizens are guaranteed equal protection under the law. If marriage is a fundamental right, and you deny a specific group of people their right to marry, that violates Equal Protection and is unconstitutional. Banning gay marriage is unconstitutional. [i]"But they have civil unions, that's good enough! It's basically equal to marriage, just seperate!"[/i] Nope. See Supreme Court in [i]Brown V Board of Education.[/i] "Separate but Equal" still violates Equal Protection. If you support the constitution, you support gay marriage.
