Stonewall the national equality charity joins forces with G-A-Y and Ben & Jerry’s to throw Britain’s largest party to celebrate marriage equality on Friday, March 28.
The event will take place at Heaven nightclub in London ahead of the first same-sex marriages on Saturday March 29. Ben & Jerry’s will join the celebrations and scoop their special marriage equality ice-cream, Apple-y Ever After for revellers.
Live screens in the club will countdown the minutes and seconds to midnight when history is made and marriage equality becomes a reality in England and Wales.
The moment will be celebrated at midnight with a wedding cake and confetti with all attendees invited to join Stonewall, Ben & Jerry’s and G-A-Y founder Jeremy Joseph for a souvenir on-stage photo to mark the occasion.
Stonewall’s Acting Chief Executive Ruth Hunt said: “On 29 March history will be made as every lesbian, gay and bisexual person will be equal under the law for the very first time. That’s a significant moment in our history and something worth celebrating. We’re incredibly excited to be able to mark this special moment with G-A-Y and Ben & Jerry’s.”Jeremy Joseph, founder of G-A-Y said: ‘G-A-Y is so proud to be doing this night with Stonewall & Ben & Jerry’s – this is a part of gay history. As an old romantic I also get very excited when I hear about couples who have met at G-A-Y, so if anyone actually proposes on the night & gets photographed with the cake & confetti, then that will be the icing on the equality wedding cake!’
