For many decades gay marriage was outlawed. Now, in the year 2015, the law recognises that same sex couples have the same equal rights as those in a heterosexual relationship to be legally married. This change hasn’t come easily, and has been the result of many decades of campaigning from gay rights and human rights groups about equality.
Over the last two years sweeping changes took place regarding the legislation for this issue. As of March 13, 2014, it become official part of legislation in the UK that same sex couples could get married. It began in England and Wales first, and then only a matter of months later Scotland followed suit and also legalised same sex marriage.
While Northern Ireland still has refused to make these changes, it is reassuring for same sex couples about what the future can hold for them in the UK.
