Leicester LGBT Centre is inviting members of the public to a briefing on same sex civil marriage on Wednesday 23rd May at 7pm at The LGBT Centre, 15 Wellington Street in Leicester city centre.
The Centre is inviting members of the LGBT communities, and anyone that cares about LGBT rights and equality regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, to learn more about the government’s proposals to extend marriage laws to include same sex couples. There will also be the opportunity to take part in a question and answer session.
Internet access and computers are being provided at the centre after the event and during day-time opening hours for anyone wishing to complete the online government survey.
The LGBT Centre believes it is important that the opinions of our communities and our supporters are included so please come join us and Let Your Voice Be Heard.

The government has launched the consultation on its intention to extend the legal form of marriage to same-sex couples. We urge all members of the L, G, B and T communities including friends, families and 'straight allies' to respond to the consultation themselves.
Recent media attention on the subject has demonstrated the sort of opposition and ingrained prejudices that LGBT people face with commentators comparing marriage equality with bestiality, child abuse and polygamy.
Please support us in responding to the governments request from the public to make their comments known here!
