The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act

In 2013 a major piece of legislation was passed by the British Parliament. It legalised marriage for same sex couples in England and Wales - the result of several decades of activism.

This podcast features Peter Tatchell who coordinated the Equal Love campaign, Benjamin Cohen of Pink News and Lib Dem peer Liz Barker.

The podcast is introduced by Chloe Hardy and produced by Whistledown Productions. It was recorded in front of an audience at the Sheila McKechnie Foundation. www.smk.org.uk
