UK MARRIAGE EQUALITY: Well done to all who have supported this equality initiative. The petition has had an undoubted impact. The push for the government consultation on marriage equality began with 8 couples who formed the Equal Love Campaign, coordinated by Peter Tatchell – for more on the early stages of how we took the case to the ECHR and forced the governments hand, look at EQUAL LOVE CAMPAIGN page on FB and the website http://www.equallove.org.uk Thank you to all for taking this cause forward in such an active an effective way. There is still much to be done. The end is not quite in sight and, as far as equality for all in this situation, we must support straight couples who seek the option of Civil Partnerships.
