US EditionNigel Farage says it was 'wrong' to introduce marriage equality: 'I didn't support it'
- Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, declared on a recent LBC phone-in that it was wrong to introduce the 2013 Marriage Act without a manifesto.
- Farage opposed same-sex marriage because he believed the civil partnership system worked fairly and criticized David Cameron for introducing the law without public consent.
- The Act received Royal Assent on 17 July 2013 and led to the first same-sex weddings on 29 March 2014, legally establishing marriage equality in England and Wales.
- Farage's comments sparked strong backlash from LGBTQ+ advocates who called them 'a slap in the face' to couples who fought for marriage rights, while supporters say he represents concerns about cultural change.
- The controversy underscores persistent political and social divisions surrounding LGBTQ+ matters in the UK, with Reform UK gaining significant support as the upcoming general election approaches and opposing what it describes as a divisive and "woke" ideology.
