The British government has introduced a bill legalising same-sex marriage, and says lawmakers will get their first vote on it in Parliament next month.
The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, published on Jan 25,2013 Friday, extends marriage to gay couples but excludes clergy in the Church of England - the country's official faith - from having to carry out the ceremonies.
The bill is likely to become law because it is supported by Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, many of his Cabinet and most Liberal Democrat and Labour lawmakers
