Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Bill

[kaberett]

Following a conversation with auntysarah about the same-sex marriage bill last week, I'm drafting a letter to the House of Lords asking them to consider extending the rights it offers to historically marginalised groups within the LGBT+ community.

If you'd be interested in joining in the drafting process - this will involve looking over a complete first draft and providing feedback/engaging in collaborative editing - please yell & I'll drop you an e-mail.

If you'd be interested in having me work out a way to make it easy for members of the public to sign the letter (in addition to existing lobbying/etc groups), let me know.

My current list of organisations/groups to contact about official support is below the cut: if you can think of anyone else I should be approaching about getting signatures, again - please let me know!

Coalition for Equal Marriage
GIRES
Gendered Intelligence
Press for Change
TransMediaWatch
Practical Androgyny
Queer Youth Network
Julian Huppert
any other MPs we can think of
NUS LGBT
CUSU LGBT?
LGBT networks of the big national parties?
... Stonewall?

I can talk to people from Warwick pride, Birmingham LGBTQ and Brum Bi Group, who I think would all be up for signing something working to fix the issues still present?
