New Zealand: Prime Minister Will Support Marriage Equality Bill

Written by scott on July 30th, 2012

New Zealand’s prime minister, John Key, has said he will support a member’s bill selected for a vote in the House of Representatives that would legalise marriages between two people of the same sex.

Labour MP Louisa Wall had submitted a member’s bill which would allow gay couples to marry and trans people to avoid divorcing their spouses before having their gender legally recognised.

Ms Wall’s bill was pulled out of a parliamentary ballot on Thursday of last week and should be voted on this year.
