Lynne Featherstone MP has won Attitude Magazine’s ‘Politician of the Year’ award.

The ceremony, which took place yesterday, honoured a number of role models and icons and celebrated the best of the gay community and its work.

After the awards, Attitude posted on their website:

“Lynne Featherstone has been the face of the coalition’s pledge to introduce equal marriage reforms.

“The MP for Hornsey and Wood Green has been vociferous in her support for the LGBT community, and the government’s promise to deliver same-sex civil marriage rights.

“Congratulations Lynne, you’re our politician of the year!”

Lynne Featherstone MP said:

“I am absolutely delighted to receive this award for Politician of the Year. The Government have committed to legislate on equal marriage by 2015, and I look forward to seeing it happen.

“I want to thank Attitude so much for the award, and wish them all the best with their great work in the future!”
