There shouldn't have been a need for this bill, in my honest opinion - I hoped that the original Civil Partnership bill would include the right to marry, rather than doing it all in two stages.

Yes, civil partnership is just a compromise between discrimination and no discrimination. Which means; discrimination.
Glad the bills been passed, bit perplexed as to why its taken so bloody long though.
Can we ban religion now please?
As same-sex marriage becomes normal, the arguments against treating gay people as decent people same as everyone else, will only weaken, as it will become more and more difficult to lie about what it means to be gay, when everyone can see, it makes no difference.
This will harm the fundamentalists, and the more problematic religious groups.

I wouldnt be so sure
Result expected at 19:30
(It says on my screen)
Finally!!
Only for the details. I don't believe they can stop it, they can call for a revote on certain parts of the bill. Thats my understanding.
Against: 175
That's not even close to not getting through! That's a 225 majority!
It's not as if any compromise can be reached.
Yeah you look it
Cameron will be having some stern conversations this evening no doubt
"overwhelmingly in favour of the government's legislation for same-sex marriage in England and Wales."
Sounds good to me!
I'm shocked anyone but the Tories voted against.
"But a number of Conservative MPs voted against the plans."
I mean, they wouldn't want to marry their rent-boys, would they?
.
A section of the tory party voted against equality? :eek: Woah - I need to sit down and think about this. Like you, I'm shocked!
Haha

Shame!
What part of gay people are not allowed to marry do you not understand? To say no one is being discriminated against is laughable.
