The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, spoke of his pride at
legalizing same s*x marriage, just a year after explicitly giving a
personal guarantee to do it by 2015 to a reception for the Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Trans-s*xual community at 10 Downing Street.
Mr Cameron told guests at the same reception one year on that Britain
was now “the best place to be gay, lesbian or transgender anywhere in
Europe”.
He added, “that is a great achievement. That’s not my measure; that
is an internationally recognised measure. But there’s still a lot more
work to be done.”
Thanking the ministers and civil servants who helped to pass the
legislation into law despite objections from the Tory Right, he said,
“It’s been a real pleasure to work with you and to deliver this landmark
social change for our country, which to me still comes back to the
simple word of commitment.”
He added that he wanted to “export” same s*x marriage around the world so other countries could follow suit.
