The IoS Pink List 2012
More than 1,500 of you voted for the influential lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people who, you feel, make Britain safer, fairer, better and more entertaining.
Same-sex couples are more than equal partners in a relationship; they are our equal partners in society. People should be allowed to marry regardless of their sexuality. The institution of marriage can only be strengthened through sexual equality.
Sign our petition to say:
- Civil marriages should be extended to homosexual couples.
- Religious institutions should be free to marry homosexual couples.
- With cross-party consensus, both the above should be on Britain’s statute book.
Thousands of people have signed our petition already. With your help, we can deliver a powerful message to the political class and those refuseniks who deny Britain's LGBT community equality. It’s easy: just sign today above.
