They're only six and one but it still makes me happy to know that they will have the chance to marry anyone they choose, male or female.
Excellent news - and one in the eye for the homophobic morons claiming they are not homophobic.

Hugely relieved, and by a good number too. The number of dinosaurs the Beeb have been digging out of attics to spout their bigoted nonsense, I was actually starting to worry.

That's a lovely thought. And they'll never have known any different. It will be completely ordinary to them. 
Unacceptable

Tis brilliant, but about time too!

" And they'll never have known any different. It will be completely ordinary to them."

I'm so glad. Another step in the right direction. How can love and marriage be a good thing but only if you are straight? (Sorry but that seems totally bloody bonkers to me emoticon).
I have no idea what the sexuality of my two will end up being. I just want them to be happy, loved and loving.
I think this takes away a lot of the patriarchal crap that marriage has always implied and the being given away etc and I think a lot more straight couples will get married now too as this has changed the implication. I know it has for me
I really thought this wouldn't get through after hearing sone of the dinosaurs today. So relieved.

Complete joke that it took this long.
But for once, just once, I am so proud of the 400 who voted yes.
Especially loved the "I queue with you in the commons, I queue with you in the chambers. Wy then, when it comes to marriage, do you insist I queue in a seperate line?"
Good man.

so if people have had a civil partnership, can they marry as well?

Well let's not get too excited, it still has to go through the Lords.
