THEGAYUK APRIL/MAY ISSUE 3
2014
MARRIAGE SPECIAL
On 2 February 2011, the Equal
Love campaign filed a legal
case in the European Court of
Human Rights. Bought by four
same-sex couples and four
opposite-sex couples, it sought
to have declared illegal the
UK’s twin discriminations in
civil marriage and civil
partnership legislation. Just as
same-sex couples were barred
from civil marriage, oppositesex couples were (and still are)
prohibited from having a civil
partnership. Our aim was to
end both forms of legal
discrimination.
