Rejected petition A national referendum should be held to decide whether or not gay marriage should be made legal in the United Kingdom

More details

The introduction of gay marriage would be a fundamental change in the culture of the UK. It should not be introduced without a national referendum. I want to see the government act on the result of the referendum.
