England proves to the world that they are not the boring, old-fashoined fogies by legalizing same-sex marriage!
Queen Elizabeth II signed off on the bill to legalize same-sex marriage making it a law and drew loud cheers from the members of the House of Commons. While England also has a number of people who oppose gay marriage, the majority of the country believes that it is the natural thing to do. In fact, it was Conservative PM, David Cameron, who proposed the legislation to begin with!
It’s predicted that the first gay marriages in England will take place by next summer. “This is a historic moment that will resonate in many people’s lives,” said Equalities Minister, Maria Miller.
Congrats, Britain!
