Change marriage law in favour of same sex marriages in the Church in Wales

Closed 63 signatures

What the petition asks

Like many people I dream of the perfect wedding day - the Church In Wales played a massive part in my life and I would love to celebrate my marriage in a place that I hold very close to my heart.Marriage law has excluded the church in Wales from being able to celebrate same sex marriages.
Despite a majority vote in favour of the Church in Wales being able to celebrate same sex marriages, the margins were too narrow for it to be passed. Marriage Law has excluded the Church in Wales from being able to celebrate same sex marriages in its churches and cathedrals and there are no plans currently for the Governing Body of the Church in Wales to petition Parliament for change in the near future. Lets get this petition going and make a change that every one has the right to.
