Scottish Equal Marriage

It's good to see Scotland seems to be making a genuine attempt at equal marriage. PinkNews has been covering this for the past few months but this week published a few articles saying that you can have your own say on the matter which is pretty damn awesome.

I quite often vote on things when given the chance to such as preventing the Ugandan anti-gay laws, and most recently the Russian anti-gay law as well. I wouldn't hesitate to so it was a no-brainer when given the chance to vote for this.

The petition can be found here (http://www.equalmarriage.org.uk/) and I'm posting because obviously I'd like you to take a minute or so to fill it in - in support, no doubt! I'm pretty sure anyone in the UK can vote on it, not sure about folk from abroad but why not give it a bash?

David Cameron has said that his party supports same-sex marriage but still hasn't done much about it so imagine if Scotland got the ball rolling. I think he'd be embarrassed that Scotland bet him to it :P

Let's face it, Scotland and the Tories don't quite get on. 

But it isn't about getting one over on the Tories (that's just a bonus) it's about two people who love each other being allowed the right to marry. Why should that be denied?

I could argue for a while but I'd only be arguing for the sake of it. There's no valid reason that same-sex couples shouldn't get married and it gives me hope that Scotland seems to have a majority who support that notion :)

P.S I did mean to post this a few days ago - the petition only runs until tomorrow morning!
