I'm thrilled about this too![]()
Gay marriage became legal in England in March last year. I have no plans to marry right now, but it's amazing and also liberating to know I can if I want to![]()

Quote by BiMale73
We had those before we opened marriage for same sex couples in 2001 in the Netherlands. It's nice to have it guaranteed in the constitution for sure, but in practice it makes no difference, only for possible future changes. In daily life what matters most is whether marriage is open for same sex couples or not.

NOT THE SAME BILL!!!! READ THE FUCKING PAPER!
Quote by clum
First of all, you need to calm the fuck down.
Secondly, when I said "the equivalent bill", I meant equivalent to the English bill Katie referred to.
Thirdly, I am not referring to civil partnerships (trust me - I've taught classes on same-sex marriage law around the world). We had those before too, but only recently legalised MARRIAGE between two people of the same sex. I'm going to my cousin's wedding and she will leave with a WIFE, not a civil partner.
Now, I have no idea if Ireland's forthcoming legislation is basically the same thing or something fundamentally different (you talk about constitution, and Britain doesn't really have one), but you seem quite confident that Ireland is a pioneer in whatever it's doing, so I'm inclined to believe you.
But rest assured, what was legislated for in Scotland last year guarantees the same rights to same-sex married couples as to opposite-sex couples. Indeed, Scotland just topped some league table about legal equality for LGBTI people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-32683817
So yes, let's celebrate this historic occasion together with Ireland, but please don't belittle the hard work that has been done to achieve equality for LGBTI people in other parts of the world.
