Democracia .. por onde andas?

This week, the Bermudan government overturned a ruling made by the island’s supreme court introducing gay marriage. The government’s decision was in response to a referendum on the island which had opposed gay marriage. Bermuda will now return to the situation which existed in Britain between 2005 and 2014, when gay couples could enter into civil partnerships – an arrangement with all the practical benefits of marriage – but not into formal marriages.

This has outraged Labour MP Chris Bryant, who claims it ‘totally undermines’ the battle to advance LGBT rights worldwide. He, along with many others, have demanded that the Foreign Secretary overrule the Bermudan government and impose gay marriage on the island.
