Why do you keep assuming gay couples don't have kids? A very outdated view on things.
Straight couples that don't have kids also get benefits from marriage. Why are you oso opposed to gay people getting the same?
You are comparing apples and oranges to such an extent it's laughable. A civil partnership is not the same as marriage. This straight couple wanting a partnership is not the same as gay people wanting equal marriage, not by a long shot. Civil partnerships weren't meant to be anything other than a stepping stone for gay people to have their own lite equivalent of marriage while the government worked on equal marriage. Civil partnerships should have been abolished as soon as equal marriage was introduced as it's obsolete now.
A straight couple demanding an obselete imitation of marriage is not the same as gay people fighting for the same bonuses and rights that straight people have always enjoyed. To compare the two shows how little you understand of the situation or of gay rights.
