Speaker John Bercow: We don’t have equal marriage until it’s in churches
by Nick Duffy, Pink News:
The Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow praised Tony Blair and called for churches to embrace equal marriage, at the PinkNews Parliamentary reception.
Mr Bercow, who was recently elected Speaker for the third time, made the comments in a speech to a PinkNews reception marking 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales.
The Commons Speaker is typically expected to be impartial on political matters, but has been a strong advocate for LGBT rights in his role.
Hosting the event in Speaker’s House, Mr Bercow questioned whether same-sex marriage was truly equal while still resisted by major religious groups.
