Bermuda Senate now votes to end same-sex marriage

After legalizing it before, the Senate in Bermuda has now voted to end same-sex marriage in the British island territory and permit only domestic partnerships.

Several media reports have stated that Senators approved the Domestic Partnership Act.

The House of Assembly approved it



24-10 on Friday.

It must now be signed by the governor before it becomes law in the Atlantic Ocean territory.

If the bill makes it way into law, same-sex couples who have already married will stay married, but new couples would have to enter into domestic partnerships.
