Keep Marriage Special is an 'expressly Christian pro-marriage campaign', which 'originated with both the Protestant Truth Society and Church Society' in January 2012.[1] To take it forward a 'limited company was formed in January', 2012: Keep Marriage Special Ltd. The founding trustees were Duncan Boyd (Chairman), Jeremy Brooks (Company Secretary) and James Crabtree. Viscount Brentford was appointed as Campaign President.[1]

The aim of 'Keep Marriage Special' is 'to defend the biblical definition of marriage and oppose any possible redefinition by HM Government.'[1] In other words the campaign is intended to oppose lesbian and gay equality.

According to the Protestant Truth Society:

With the limited company already in existence, and a team being put in place, much work is being done opening a bank account, developing the branding, building a website, securing appropriate social networking accounts with the likes of Facebook and Twitter, and making sure that the campaign is fully operational by mid-April.[1]
