THE TELEGRAPH: Boris Johnson, the London Mayor, has backed calls for an end to the ban on same-sex marriages, a prominent gay rights campaigner claimed.
Peter Tatchell said Mr Johnson had told him the Conservatives should support gay marriage.
Same sex marriages are not performed or permitted in the UK but a system of civil partnership exists that allows two people of the same sex to be united with general consent.
The Mayor made his comments during the Pride London Parade - the annual celebration of gay rights, Mr Tatchell said.
The campaigner had attended the event carrying a banner which read "Dave and Sam Cameron can marry, gays can't.
