remove residency restrictions


remove residency restrictions
The Issue
Do you know where you can travel to in Europe and legally hold a wedding for same sex couples?
Even though there are many countries within Europe that offer some form of union or even Marriage - every country with the exception of Gran Canaria (for now) have placed a residency restriction, stopping gay and lesbian couples living outside from coming over and getting married, for example, France, Switzerland, Prague, Spain to name but a few.
What does that mean for us? , a new battle heading its way direct to the EU
If opposite sex couples can come to the UK and have a legally recognized partnership without a residency requirement – why tolerate discrimination and out right to found a family across Europe
We request any residency restriction removed from every country in Europe and state in the USA to allow equality to shine and same sex couples to have an open choice.
This affects so many same sex couples, please share your support
