I was delighted to see the consultation on the above Bill released on the 12th December.

Not only does it bring true marriage equality one step closer, it also creates a separate category for an organisation such as the HSS.
At present each HSS Celebrant is authorised on a yearly basis. The new Bill brings the HSS into line with religious organisations in that Celebrants will be authorised on a five yearly basis.
However, there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip and no doubt the major religions will continue in their attempts to water down or even de-rail the legislation altogether.
The HSS, along with it's partner organisations that make up The Equality Network will do their utmost to ensure that this Bill becomes law.
