Same-sex<\/a> marriage finally approved in Isle of Man<\/b>
\n\"Same-sex<\/p>\n

The Isle of Man has finally approved same-sex<\/a> marriage.<\/p>\n

The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Amendment) Bill had its third and final reading in the Legislative Council of the British crown dependency that sits between the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

Six members voted in favor, and three were against.<\/p>\n

The bill allows same-sex<\/a> couples<\/a> to get married and opposite-sex<\/a> couples<\/a> to civil partnerships. The latter is currently not available to straight people in the rest of the UK.<\/p>\n

In October 2015, Chief Minister Allan Bell revealed he had been in a relationship with another man<\/a> for the past 21 years.<\/p>\n

He said legalizing same-sex<\/a> marriage would draw a line under the Isle of Man’s ‘dark days’. In the 1980s, a campaign to decriminalize homosexuality (which punished gay<\/a> sex<\/a> with life imprisonment) was met with bigotry from the Manx parliament. Homosexuality was finally decriminalized in 1992.<\/p>\n

Bell said: ‘Everyone who loves their partner, whether same-sex<\/a> or otherwise, must have equal rights to share their lives. It’s a totally logical human right and human expectation that straight couples<\/a> and gay<\/a> couples<\/a> should be able to enjoy life with the partner that they choose and I totally support that.’<\/p>\n

England and Wales first introduced same-sex<\/a> marriage in March 2014, with Scotland following in December of the same year. It is not available in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
