Except it isn't. Notice I said SOME of the legal benefits, not all. I also said in a later post that Civil partnerships were a stepping stone to equal marriage and thus are obsolete now. If you're calling gay people childish for wanting equal rights then that says it all, really.

Bit ignorant to think that this isn't a problem for gay people. Gay people have families too, there are stay at home gay parents that take care of the family as well, do you oppose them getting the same rights as their straight counterparts?
