Britain's new Equal Love campaign was launched on 26 October 2010 in London.

A legal bid to end sexual orientation discrimination.

The Equal Love campaign seeks to overturn the twin bans on gay civil marriages and heterosexual civil partnerships. Our aim is to end sexual orientation discrimination in marriage and partnership law. In late 2010, four same-sex couples filed applications for civil marriages at register offices, and four straight couples applied for civil partnerships. All were refused. On 2 February 2011, all eight couples made a joint application to the European Court of Human Rights to strike down this inequality, with a view to securing a change in UK law.
