That's right.............(I know this happened about a week ago, but hadn't seen it here yet)
A rainbow has appeared in the sky above Scottish parliament, hours before a vote on equal marriage.
The rainbow was sighted above Edinburgh before the vote on the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill, due at 6pm.
The Equality Network said they hoped the rainbow was a “good omen”.
And then the bill OVERWHELMINGLY passed!
The Scottish Parliament this evening passed its equal marriage bill through the first stage of debate with a large majority.
After a heated debate, the Marriage and Civil Partnerships Bill was passed with a large majority of 98 votes to 15. 5 members abstained.
Speaking after the vote, Liberal Democrat MSP, Jim Hume said: “Today’s vote was a big step forward for equality and a move towards the fairer Scotland that we all want to see.
“The principle we are debating here is very simple. Same-sex partners do not love one another any less than other couples. Their relationships deserve the same recognition and protections as any other.
ONLY in Scotland!!!
