First same-sex marriages take place in Britain

GAY couples last night raced to tie the knot in Britain’s first ever same-sex wedding ceremonies in what David Cameron called “an important moment for our country”.

Mr Cameron declared: “When someone’s love is divided by law, it is the law that needs to change.”

Enabling same-sex marriage showed Britain would “continue to honour its proud traditions of respect, tolerance and equal worth” and would reassure young people uncertain about their sexuality that they were equal, straight or gay”.

It would “create an environment where people are no longer bullied because of their sexuality and where they can realise their potential, whether as a great mathematician like Alan Turing, a star of stage and screen like Sir Ian McKellen”, he said.
