The Equality Network (the LGBT equality charity that runs the Equal Marriage campaign in Scotland) will hold a rally outside the Scottish Parliament next Wednesday, November 20 at 1pm on the day that MSPs vote on Scotland’s Equal Marriage bill.
The stage one vote on the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill is crucial because it will finally reveal whether a majority of MSPs will vote to introduce equal marriage, or whether they will reject the Bill and deny LGBT people equal rights.
The Equality Network will be sending a message to MSPs on the day – one which they won’t be able to miss. Organisers are urging supporters of Equal Marriage to go along and be part of the photo opportunity of this historic vote at 1pm sharp. Meet on the grass area outside the Scottish Parliament building where the Equality Network will be joined by supporters, same-sex couples, faith leaders, and MSPs from across the political parties.
Later in the day, between 5pm and 8pm the debate and vote in the Scottish Parliament on the Bill will take place revealing whether Scotland will join other countries around the world in supporting equal marriage, and how the vote will split. It will also show how individual MSPs and Scottish Government ministers choose to vote.
