Stephen Gilbert MP writes: True LGBT equality finally on the horizon

February 17, 2011 6:30 PM

Gilbert MP• [Feb 17] Stephen Gilbert* writes: TODAY'S announcement, that religious settings are able to hold civil partnerships, is a huge step toward achieving the Liberal Democrat policy of full equal civil marriage and partnerships for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the UK . .

I'm confident that the move towards equal civil marriage and partnerships would not have happened without the Liberal Democrat influence in the Coalition Government, and without our excellent Equalities Minister, Lynne Featherstone.

* Stephen Gilbert is MP for St Austell and Newquay
