Thank you to BBC Radio

It was a pleasure being asked on BBC radio so speak about the pending bills and changes that could affect both opposite and same sex couples when forming a Marriage or Partnership. It was a great interview, open and willing to listen to both sides of my coin and the concerns I have for all.

How best to make the change that will not affect opposite sex couples in churches and give them the right to hold a Civil Partnership and open Civil Marriage to same sex couples

It's going to be a awesome year ahead from March onwards. Change is coming and one that will benefit all in a positive way.


BBC Britain’s Gay Footballers

Gino Meriano speaks out on the BBC about last night’s TV Programe Britain’s Gay Footballers on BBC 3.

Gino stated it was a great interview, shame about the negative people but that’s life, stepping stones will make things better.

and to the FA : stand up, support football and the teams – be the voice to stop discrimination

Tory MPs go to war over equal civil marriage and partnerships

Thank you to the BBC for inviting me on to talk about the pending bill, opening up Civil Marriage and Partnerships to all.

Great heavy debate

In today's paper it is stated that a campaign to defeat the Coalition's plan to lift the ban o ... n civil marriage for gay and lesbian couples is being organised by traditionalist Tory MPs, who claim the idea would weaken the institution of marriage. Ministers fear the revolt will undermine Mr Cameron's drive to modernise his party.

Watch this space, this is only the beginning
