Campaigns

On 11th June MSYPs were asked to choose the Scottish Youth Parliament's next national campaign. They chose:

Marriage Equality - to allow same-sex couples to marry and to entend civil partnership to hetrosexual couples.

We think that two people who love each other should be able to get married.

It’s as simple as that.

We want to live in a Scotland where:

• Same-sex couples are allowed to get married if they want to
• Mixed-sex couples are allowed to register a civil partnership if they want to
• If religious organisations want to perform same-sex marriages and civil partnerships, they should be allowed to do so

We urge the Scottish Government to work quickly on making this a reality

Young people in their thousands have told us the law should be the same for everyone. Research shows the majority of Scots of all ages support marriage equality. This is a reality in 10 countries already, with several others moving in that direction – don’t let Scotland be left behind.
