Lib Dem LGBT group Delga have responded to a call from Pink News for LGBT groups to set out their position on equal marriage. The call follows a poll suggesting that an overwhelming majority of Pink News readers support equal marriage. The poll was itself a reaction to Delga's policy motion to Lib Dem Conference in September. This is likely to see equal marriage become official Liberal Democrat policy. The Lib Dems would be the first of the major political parties to have this policy.

The Liberal Democrats will debate changing the system of marriage and civil partnerships at the party's main annual conference this September. The motion, tabled by Lib Dems for LGBT Action (Delga), would open up both systems of partnership recognition to couples regardless of gender. It would resolve many issues with the current system, such as the restriction on religious groups using their places of worship for civil partnership ceremonies, the lack of recognition of same-sex marriages conducted abroad, and the forced divorce-and-remarriage that transsexual people face when their gender is legally recognised through a GRC.
