Some of the first to be married on 29 March 2014 look back on their ‘fabulous’ day but say homophobia still happens
As midnight struck and Friday night turned into Saturday morning, Andrew Wale and Neil Allard were married. Hardly an unusual event, but their marriage took place 10 years ago and was among the first same-sex marriages in England and Wales.
Friday marks the anniversary of same-sex weddings, which for many gay people was the final barrier to full equality in the eyes of the law. At the time, the then prime minister, David Cameron, said the new law sent a “powerful message” about equality in Britain.
