British politicians have passed a bill legalising same-sex marriage in England and Wales, paving the way for the first gay weddings in 2014.

MPs decided not to oppose a number of minor amendments to the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill proposed by the House of Lords on Monday.

The legislation is expected to receive official assent from the Queen later this week after MPs agreed to changes such as ensuring protections for transgender couples.

Jubilant gay rights activists had danced outside parliament on Monday night as the government-backed bill passed unopposed through the upper house, where some members wore pink carnations.

A spokesman for the culture ministry, which is overseeing the law, said the bill would probably receive royal assent on Wednesday or Thursday.

"But we are looking at seeing the first gay weddings in the middle of 2014 because there are various issues to sort out, such as its impact on pensions," he said.
