Gay Couples Queue for Same Sex Weddings (UK)
Gay Couples Queue for Same Sex Weddings

By Matt Adams, PA News


Gay couples queued for two hours today to sign the country’s first same-sex wedding waiting list book.

More than 100 couples entered their names in the pink suede-covered book in a bid to be among the first to marry legally under the Government’s proposed Civil Partnership Bill.

One couple arrived in a pink Cadillac to sign the book at Brighton Town Hall.

The city, often dubbed the country’s gay capital, is planning to become the UK’s flagship city for same-sex weddings when the Bill is passed, which it is expected to be in 2005.
