The UK House of Lords gave its final approval to the marriage equality bill today, leaving only a couple steps left before the bill will become law, Bloomberg reports:
The upper, unelected chamber approved the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill without a vote in London today. Some members of the house wore pink carnations to mark the occasion.
The legislation has already been passed by the Commons amid opposition from more than 100 lawmakers from Cameron's Conservative Party. The bill will now return to the Commons, where amendments introduced by the Lords will be considered. If they're accepted, the bill will be sent to Queen Elizabeth II for her signature before becoming law.
