In 21st Century Britain we’re more than ready to extend marriage rights to same sex couples. Liberty is delighted that the Coalition has committed to do just that with the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill which is currently making its way through Parliament.
Sadly there remains one obstacle to full marriage equality in the Bill.
Currently the Bill contains a clause which would perpetuate inequality in the provision of occupational pension schemes for gay couples by allowing pension providers to pay far lower survivor benefits to gay civil partners and spouses than to straight spouses.
Help us lobby Parliament to end this inequality.
