Thank you to Afzal Khan MP for voting in favour of equal marriage rights for same sex couples in Northern Ireland today.
Although this would only take effect if a new administration is not formed in Northern Ireland before 21st October and it would still require secondary legislation it is great to know our MP supports equal rights across all areas of the UK.
The amendment to extend equal marriage rights to Northern Ireland passed by 383 to 73.
Another amendment to extend abortion rights to Northern Ireland passed by 332 to 99.
The Stonewall riots were 50 years ago today.
The fight for equal rights continues. We must never be complacent and must always be ready to defend the rights that have been won and continue to make the case for equal rights for all.

Two men were stabbed in a homophobic attack in Merseyside yesterday. The attackers were three children aged 12-15.
This is just one reason why we need education and information in schools about LGBT people and relationships.

New guidance for Relationships Education (Primary Schools) and Sex and Relationships Education (Secondary Schools) has been passed by Parliament.
The guidance requires schools to inform and educate children about different relationships including same sex relationships. This is important to reflect reality, the society we live in and principles of equality and inclusion.
It should be remembered that some children are LGBT. They deserve equal recognition, support, understanding and visibility in schools.
Let children be children. All of them.
