Scotland’s final ‘equal marriage’ vote is tomorrow, February 4.
On Tuesday, February 4 at 1.30pm sharp, the Equality Network, the Scottish LGBT equality charity, will hold a rally and photo opportunity outside the Scottish Parliament on the day that MSPs have their final vote on Scotland’s equal marriage bill.
The stage 3 debate on the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill will give MSPs one last chance to consider any amendments to the Bill before voting on whether to pass it into law and make Scotland the 17th country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage.
The vote will be a defining moment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Scotland. 34 years after Scotland decriminalised homosexuality in 1980, politicians will have the historic chance to remove the final major piece of sexual orientation discrimination from Scots law, and grant LGB people full legal equality, including an equal right to marry the person they love.
What: Scotland’s final equal marriage vote rally
Where: On the grass area, outside the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh, Scotland
Date: Tuesday, February 4 – photo op at 1.30pm sharp
