Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bill on Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill.
Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill
Thank you for bringing us back into order, Mr Speaker.
At an earlier stage I suggested that we might want to recognise the celebrations that have taken place elsewhere, such as in New Zealand, with lots of singing. We are wearing our carnations tonight, and I would be very happy to sing at the first of the marriages under the new legislation. To do so now would be very disorderly, but I would be happy to be present to recognise that love and that celebration. I am very glad that we have come to this place.
