It has been confirmed that the first same-sex marriage took place in Bermuda on Wednesday. No other details were immediately available. A ruling by a judge last month gave the green light to gay marriage on the island, but the window may soon close if the opposition Progressive Labour Party has its way. An opposition MP is to make a fresh attempt in parliament to block same-sex marriages in Bermuda. A referendum last year, in which there was less than a 50 per cent turnout, resulted in voters overwhelmingly rejecting same-sex marriages and same-sex civil unions by a wide margin.
