Moves to legalise gay marriage in the Island
The Manx Rainbow Association says the possible legalisation of gay marriage has been a long time coming – but marks the beginning of the end of institutional discrimination.
At the end of last week, Chief Minister Allan Bell revealed the government would consult on new laws before bringing them in before next year’s general election.

And he predicts there’ll be an immediate high demand for weddings:
