Scotland Plans on Legalizing Gay Marriage Because It's the "Right Thing to Do"

If all goes as planned, Scotland will be the first part of the UK to legalize same-sex marriage, even though surveys show that the majority of Scots disapprove of the decision.

“We are committed to a Scotland that is fair and equal and that is why we intend to proceed with plans to allow same-sex marriage and religious ceremonies for civil partnerships,” says the deputy first minister, Nicola Sturgeon. “We believe that this is the right thing to do.”
