Scotland Says 'Aye' To Same-Sex Marriage!

From criminalisation to equal marriage in 34 years

Thank you so much to everyone who helped Scotland make history by legalising equal marriage - the Scottish Government, politicians from all parties, the media, our partner organisations, our staff and volunteers, and - most of all - the thousands of LGBT people and allies who put in the work and stood up for our rights over very many years to get us where we are today.

We did it!
