There‘s only two weeks left until the government consultation on extending the legal form of marriage to same-sex couples closes. The proposal was not included in the recent Queen’s Speech but Stonewall is lobbying the government to press ahead with implementing this promise in the next 12 months in any case. Now’s the time to make your voice heard if you haven’t already done so.
You can visit www.stonewall.org.uk/marriage for details of how to respond to the consultation and tell the government why equal marriage matters to you.
Legislation announced in the Queen’s Speech on 9 May included a draft bill on adult social care, bills on public state pensions and the pension age, and new measures on flexible working.
