Ten years ago the first same sex marriages took place. There can be few changes in the law that have brought so much happiness to so many people. The role Lynne Featherstone and I played at the different stages is covered here stephenwilliamsmp.wordpress.com/2019/02/28/firโฆ
I was pleased to share my experiences with the LGA on being a councillor for #TransDayOfVisibility , but it's also very sad to see both myself and Cllr Hill have to acknowledge the hostility that's come with it.
Today is #TransDayofVisibility ! ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
With hate against trans people on the rise, it can be hard to find space to celebrate the joys of visibility.
This #TDOV , we're reflecting on the value of visibility and how it can transform the lives of our loved onesย ๐

On this day in 2014, the first same-sex marriages took place following their legalisation in England and Wales. Thank you Lynne Featherstone and everyone who campaigned for it. (See amzn.to/2SlpyYK for the full story.)
Ten years ago today, Wales and Englandโs first same-sex marriages took place. This was an extremely proud moment for our country. The joys of getting to marry the person you love, is something that everyone deserves the chance to experience, thank you Lynne Featherstone
We are so proud that Lib Dem ministers like Lynne Featherstone, working alongside countless LGBT+ activists got the Same Sex Marriage Act passed.
Liberal Democrats will keep doing everything we can to help achieve true equality for all LGBT+ people.

Fantastic to meet with Yasmin Benoit, MSc today on behalf of LGBT+ Lib Dems ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ ๐ถ to discuss The Ace Report from Stonewall and how we can work to improve things for Asexuals in the UK!
Anti Hate Crime motion by LGBT+ Lib Dems ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ ๐ถ passed unanimously at London Lib Dems Regional Conference! Among other things this calls for:
-better recording of Hate Crimes by the Police & better 3rd party reporting.
- Funding community engagement in the public sector to counter hate crime.
Proud to support colleagues across House of Lords calling for a ban on conversion practices Lorely Burt Lynne Featherstone Brian Paddick Paul Scriven๐ถ๏ธ๐บ๐ฆ Natalie Bennett Shami Chakrabarti Nick Herbert Thoughtful speeches from Ruth Hunt, Baroness Butler Schloss added to wide support.
Congratulations to Lorely Burt and Lib Dem Lords as our Conversion Therapy Ban Bill passed its Second Reading this afternoon.
After five years of Conservative dither and delay, we are finally making progress on ending these horrific practices for good.
A call for unity from Lorely Burt to achieve the long-overdue change the LGBT+ community need.
It was promised by the Conservatives 5 years ago, it has since been supported by all the major parties.
Working together to secure a positive change is possible.
Tomorrow, Peers will debate Lorely Burt's Conversion Therapy Ban Bill.
For 5 years, the Conservatives have broken their promise to finally ban this awful practice.
We can't afford to waste any more time.
Our bill could finally end this offensive practice for good.
Nothing, LGBT+ Conservatives will say nothing, just like they did yesterday when former PM Truss called the LGBTQ+ community extremists.
