Scotland will legalize same sex marriage | The Raw Story →

Scotland plans to bring forward legislation allowing same-sex couples to marry, making it the first part of the UK to do so, the government announced on Wednesday.

Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the decision as “the right thing to do”, saying the government was “committed to a Scotland that is fair and equal”.

It intends to publish draft legislation late this year.

The consultation recorded 65 percent support for same-sex marriage.

Equality campaigners called the decision “a proud day for Scotland”, but the move was quickly slammed by the Catholic Church, which labelled it a “dangerous social experiment”.
