Charles can marry twice; gays can't marry once
Isabelle Hontebeyrie
Peter Tatchell, of the gay human rights group OutRage! and six other activists protested "against the ban on same-sex marriage outside Windsor Guildhal, as Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles were married."

Mr Tatchell and two other members of OutRage! were temporarily detained by the police under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act.
"Charles and Camilla had to battle legal obstacles to get married," said Mr Tatchell.
After full body and bag searches, the police attempted to move us away from the Guildhall area. We refused to move, citing our right to protest under the Human Rights Act. Eventually the police relented and were allowed to continue our protest, shadowed by a phalanx of police officers.
"Charles and Camilla are obviously very much in love. We wish them a happy married life together. We want gay couples to have the same right to marry. Is equal marriage rights for every couple in love too much to expect?"
