Majority of MSPs back equal marriage

Commenting as the majority of MSPs back equal marriage in Scotland, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie MSP said:

"Scottish Liberal Democrats are determined that equal marriage forms part of the modern, tolerant and progressive Scotland we all want to see.

“I have kept up the pressure in Parliament for this ground-breaking legislation to be brought forward. Now that more than half of MSPs have signed up to the Equality Network pledge, the Scottish Government should lay out their timetable so that we can use the cross party consensus to get equal marriage on the statute books.

“I will continue to do all I can to support efforts to bring fairness and equality to marriage in Scotland.”
