Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill.

My hon. Friend is right. Couples who love each other should be able to get married, regardless of their gender and sexuality. We should enjoy that and we should celebrate that. We all love a good wedding: we pause when we walk by a church or a registry office

and we smile at the couple coming out in a cloud of confetti, because we think it is a great thing that a couple want to get married and want to celebrate that.
