SourceFrom midnight same sex couples in England and Wales who want to have a wedding, not a civil partnership, can have one.
The government's controversial legislation was passed last summer, and lots of weddings will be taking place in the early hours of the morning.

Fantastic news.
Baltar: "I don't want to miss a moment of the last Battlestar's destruction!"
Centurion: "Sir, I really think you should look at the other Battlestar."
Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."
Corrax Entry 7:17: So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again.

Apparently 1 in 5 people wouldn't accept an invite to a gay wedding. I'll be honest, I'd have thought that would be higher. Shows how much noise a vocal minority makes.

If it was one-fifth of radio listeners, then the demographics might be skewed towards the older set; and even amongst I find many to be very accepting of change.

About time - and I'm very happy to report the UK has not been consumed by fissures and hellfire so far.
Yeah, I've always taken the subtext of the Birther movement to be, "The rules don't count here! This is different! HE'S BLACK! BLACK, I SAY! ARE YOU ALL BLIND!?

On the contrary, it rained only once in three days since Saturday. If this is what gay marriage is going to do, we shoulda done it faster!
