Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill

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

I was a primary teacher when section 28 came into force. The class I taught in Peckham had children whose parents were gay, and I was debarred by my head teacher and the law from talking about their families as families. Passing the Bill will bring that era to an end. We should be proud of ourselves if we pass this Bill.
