GETTING MARRIED IN THE MORNING
German registry offices report a boom trade in gay marriage ceremonies since I August. when their government finally agreed to recognise satire-sex partners. Denmark was the first country to legalise gay marriages in 1985) and since then Iceland, Sweden. Finland. Norway. France and Holland have followed suit Belgium and Portugal are currently trying to introduce such legislation.
Britain is now the largest nation in Europe not to have embraced legalised gay partnerships. So how do we make gay wedding bells ring here? 'II is problematic in Britain because there's not one piece of legislation which would bring about such change] says Ali Jams from the lobbying group. Stonewall Scotland. 'It needs to be tackled at both Westminster and Edinburgh."
Recognition of gay marriages are not on Labour's list of objectives for the coming year. The Liberal Democrat QC Lord Lester is attempting to introduce a civil partnership bill in the House Of Lords which would include samesex couples. Eguality Network and Stonewall Scotland are both petitioning our new i_)arliament to put gay marriages on the 2003 election agenda.
Until then. any time there is a change in the laws relating to the rights of unmarried. long-term partnerships in heiising or health. Stonewall campaigns for
same-sex partners to be included. You don't have I
wait until 2003 to support Stonewall. Go along to its comedy
benefit at Edinburgh's Playhouse on 22 August with Julian Clary. Phil Jupitus and
Rich Hall among others. [John Binnie)
