Speak Out for Marriage

The government has published the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill which, if passed, will fundamentally alter the meaning of marriage. We urge you to ‘Speak Out for Marriage’ and defend the definition that has played a fundamental role in society for centuries. The most effective way of defending marriage at this point is by contacting your local MP in order to make your views known. Want more information about the Bill? We have an in-depth briefing that lays out the key issues.
