From BBC News:

Same-sex marriage will soon be endorsed in Northern Ireland as public support overwhelms opposition to it, the openly gay leader of the Scottish Conservatives has said.

Ruth Davidson was speaking in Belfast on Tuesday at the city’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Pride week.

Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where gay marriage is illegal.

Ms Davidson said the “time is coming” when same-sex couples in the region would be allowed to marry.

“With public support and parliamentary majority the waters are building and the dam will burst,” she added.

“I truly believe that tidal wave is set to overflow and that you will, in short order, change history.”
