Same sex marriages can take place in the British consulates of more than 20 countries where the ceremonies are not legal including Russia, Azerbaijan, Serbia and Hungary.
The Foreign Office has opened the doors of its missions to British nationals and their partners who wish to wed but are unable to under foreign laws.
Chris Bryant, the former Foreign office minister and openly gay Labour MP, said he hoped the move would be "celebrated" in countries like Russia where homosexuals face prejudice and persecution.
In June last year Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, signed into law a bill punishing people for homosexual "propaganda".

Hoping Putin drives a bulldozer into the embassy.
There is such thing as same six marriage -period
Rule Britannia. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
It seems like the British are trying to export subversion to Russia. Maybe the Russians should close some British consulates and restrict Embassy activities and staff travel until these efforts stop.
I wonder if he has plans to visit Russia any time soon.
This is why we need conservative politicians at ALL levels of government.
Imagine Prince Charles’ disappointment when he found out Camilla is really a female.
Borderline act of war.
Igor and Vladimir may very well get themselves "married" or whatever at the British Consulate, but neither will make it to the reception.
The real problem is that our home-town homosexuals may start ordering mail-order "homo-brides" from Russia. Now that, that could be on Okra Winfree.
Why would a Brit travel to Russia to marry at the consulate? does that make any sense?
I think it’s for British Subjects who are living in Russia, are homos, and want to get “married” without having to leave Russia. This bold move probably concerns about six people. Rule Britannia.
Kinda sorta... if they can snooker a Rooskie into doing it, he/she can come along.
They are foolish as all get out to do that in Russia, but nobody can accuse them of lack of consistency.
It’s not nice to fool mother nature but it’s even worse to pizz off Mother Russia.

Please say you are kidding
Presumably the back doors.
Putin should shut down the consulates.
