Blog: Government to hold consultation on legalising gay marriage
For years gay couples have campaigned for the right to have legally recognised marriages but currently same-sex couples are only permitted to enter civil partnerships, which despite offering the same legal treatment for most matters, does not allow the union to be referred to as a marriage.
Campaigners argue that denying same-sex couples the same privileges and rights as other couples is "homophobic discrimination". But early next year, the Government will hold a consultation on changing the laws for same-sex couples.
