Simon Hughes Predicts Gay Marriage Before Next Election!

The Liberal Democrat parties deputy leader Simon Hughes is in the news in the UK for predicted that gay marriage will become a reality by the next general election.   Although,  of course that is assuming the next election will be the scheduled one in five years time!  


Simon Hughes,  made the prediction in response to a question posed  by website Yoosk,  the openly bi MP said  "It would be appropriate in Britain in 2010, 2011, for there to be the ability for civil marriage for straight people and gay people equally.    That's different of course from faith ceremonies which are matters for the faith communities....... they have to decide what recognition to give.


"The state ought to give equality. We're halfway there. I think we ought to be able to get there in this parliament."
