Dear Ms Stewart-Williams,
Thank you for your email about gay marriage.
On the Government’s plans to change the law to support gay marriage - this is an issue which divides opinion within my constituency and amongst the wider public.
I personally support the right of people of the same sex who love each other and who want to commit to each other to make vows to that effect to God. Of course I recognise the enormous benefits of happy loving marriage and the stability that brings for children and family life. But I also recognise the sincerity and depth of the love between so many same sex couples and would not want to deny them the opportunity for that to be fully realised.
When people love each other and want to make a long term commitment, we should welcome and celebrate it. Changing the law to support gay marriage is the right thing to do and is an important way for the state and society to recognise and respect commitment.
Thank you again for getting in touch.
With best wishes,
Tessa Jowell MP
