Chief Minister expects largely positive response
A public consultation on the legalisation of gay marriage is set to start as early as next week.
Tynwald is seeking opinion on the legislation, following its adoption in the UK last year.
At present, same-sex couples can enter into civil partnerships but cannot legally get married.
Chief Minister Allan Bell says he's predicting a largely positive response.
