They can't do that. They can advise but not stop legislation. Parliament acts 1919 and 1949 stopped that mess I do Law at sheff uni. We do this

I had no idea it wasn't legal there. Great.

So...what happens next then? If they can't stop the legalisation, does that mean gay marriage is a done deal?

We effectively have gay marriage because our civil partnerships are legally equal, just socially not.

Very much so. Past 2nd reading means it's like 90% likely to be law unless there's a major flaw, which considering how controversial it's been there won't be.

Good on ya, U.K.

Fair enough, I only took it at GCSE so you'll have much more knowledge on the subject than I do.

Finally!

The US should follow.

no worries

But they can only delay it for up to a year tops. There'd be no point really.
And at times Parliament can push something through without their whole approval if they wanted.

This is good, but why did it take so damn long. The huge media frenzy about this has just made more people homophobic.

Great news.

Hopefully NI takes some action in this, although the politics here is a mess so it probably won't be legalised for a while.

If the House of Lords even TRIES it.
