Scotland: Gay Marriage A Long Way Off, Equality Leader Says

The leader of the Scottish Government’s Equality Unit has said there is no end in sight for the equal marriage debate.  Hilary Third told delegates at the opening of the International Gay and Lesbian Youth Organisation General Assembly in Edinburgh that while Scotland had made “significant progress” since decriminalisation, there was still a long way to go. And she added that the constitutional arrangement of Scotland in the UK might get in the way of any debate on equal marriage. Hosted by LGBT Youth Scotland and supported by the Scottish Government, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission and Edinburgh City Council, delegates of the biggest stand alone IGLYO event in 25 years will spend two days discussing the most pressing issues facing gay and lesbian young people.
