Equal rights fight taken to Holyrood

More than 1000 campaigners for same-sex marriage marched on Holyrood yesterday to urge the Scottish Government to change the law.

The march saw protesters from across Scotland, including the Equality Network, NUS Scotland, LGBT Youth Scotland and Stonewall Scotland, join members of the Scottish Youth Parliament as part of its Love Equally Campaign. At the moment, same-sex couples can enter into a civil partnership but cannot get married.
