Scotland’s first same-se-x marriages are set to take place later this year. The
Scottish parliament on Tuesday voted to pass the Marriage and Civil
Partnership (Scotland) Bill by a margin of 105-18, with the first unions
set to be conducted in the autumn.
Gay Marriage in Scotland“I
believe this bill will have a hugely positive impact on our society and
on the health and well-being of LGBT of people in our country,” MSP Jim
Eadie said during the debate. “Scotland now has one of the most
progressive equal marriage bills in the world. Allowing the option of
gender-neutral marriage ceremonies will provide genuine equality for
all, including transgender people.”
