Queen
Elizabeth II gave royal assent to the marriage equality bill that
cleared UK Parliament this week, ensuring that it will become law, the AP reports:
House of Commons Speaker John Bercow told
lawmakers that the royal assent had been given Wednesday — the day
after the bill to legalize same-sex marriage in England and Wales
cleared Parliament. The queen’s approval was a formality. It clears the
way for the first gay marriages next summer.
