Gibraltar passes same-sex marriage with unanimous support

Congratulations Gibraltar!

Gibraltar has passed same-sex marriage in its government with unanimous cross-party support.

The British overseas territory voted on the Civil Marriage Amendment Bill and all 15 present members agreed to pass it into law.

This is a country of 30,000 people, just off the coast of Spain, where 80% of people are Roman Catholic.

Chief minister Fabian Picardo described it as a ‘landmark day for Gibraltar and this parliament’.

Similar to the UK, any church or priest who does not want to bless or perform a same-sex marriage will not be forced to do so.
