LAST WEEK 2000 people lobbied parliament in favour of equalising the age of consent for gay men to 16.
It is still not clear when the vote will be but whenever it is there will be a candlelit vigil from 7pm-10pm outside the House of Commons.
There has been a successful campaign to put pressure on Labour MPs to vote for Labour Party Conference policy on equality.
John Smith has made a public statement in support, and a large number of MPs have committed themselves to the vote on 16 where previously they were undecided.
The Campaign Group of MPs voted unanimously to support for 16 and the T&G and MSF are instructing their sponsored MPs to vote for 16.
Campaigning will continue up to the night of the vote and it is still important to contact MPs to ensure they support equality and that they will turn up for the vote.
Stonewall have called a rally supported by the Labour Campaign for Lesbian and Gay Rights on Saturday February 5 in Trafalgar Square from 2pm - 3pm.
There will be a platform including 16 year old gay men, celebrities and MPs supporting equality.
Everyone who supports
equal rights is encouraged to attend.
