Britain Grants Legal Marriage to Transsexuals

LONDON, July 7, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The British government has announced “another step to treating everyone equally, whatever their sexuality,” by granting the right to legally marry to transsexuals—persons who have undergone operations to mutilate their own sexual organs. The change will also allow transsexuals to change the sex on their birth certificate.  Some critics are noting the inordinate amount of time spent by the new Constitutional Affairs department on small minority concerns. Whitehall sources (i.e., in the public service) “admitted that the Government could be seen as becoming obsessed with what were described as ‘narrow sectional interests’,” The Observer newspaper reported.  For coverage from The Observer:  https://observer.guardian.co.uk/politics/story/0,6903,992486,00.html
