Marriage campaigners in Britain have vowed to keep fighting the government ’s plans to install same-sex “marriage,” despite today’s vote in which an overwhelming majority of members of the House of Lords supported sending the bill on to the next stage.  Although observers on both sides of the issue had predicted a close vote, the Peers tonight voted 390 – 148 in favor. The bill will now go on to the committee phase and possible amendments before a final vote in the Lords. House of Lords Paul Tully, General Secretary of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children , said that his organization is continuing the fight against the bill.  “ Redefining marriage in law as a genderless institution unconnected with child-bearing will strip marriage of its identity,” Tully said. “Whatever the fate of the government's bill, we must continue to fight to preserve the protection real marriage gives to children, both born and unborn.”  The first vote on a piece of...

This week’s vote in the UK ’s House of Lords on the coalition government’s proposed gay ‘marriage’ law is “too close to call,”  according to   Lord Alli , a staunch supporter of the marriage redefinition bill.

WESTMINSTER , May 17, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Pro-family campaigners are asking UK citizens to contact their MPs to ask that so that David Cameron 's gay “marriage” bill be defeated. Anthony Ozimic, communications manager for the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children told LifeSiteNews.com that the bill, which goes to a vote on third reading in the House of Commons on Tuesday, is considered likely to pass. On Monday, a series of amendments will be proposed for a vote by MPs, among which will be a call to defer the entire process until 2015 and put it to a public referendum. Another will call for heterosexual couples to be included in existing civil partnership provisions. But Ozimic said that SPUC has no position on any of these, and are concentrating on defeating the bill as a whole. The bill has been in committee since being brought forward and receiving a tentative go ahead by an overwhelming majority of MPs of all parties. It is scheduled to go to a vote ab...
