Idk I hope that makes sense.  |
Given it's roots in history, and of course religious origins that won't change overnight but I do see where you're coming from.
I just think, at least the law accepts gay couples now and recognises them similarly if you know what I mean. A lot of countries, especially America, are having huge troubles just accepting gay people let alone giving them civil partnerships or marriage.
Obviously removing any difference whatsoever and having a one for all is the ultimate ideal. But, I just think, given how much attitudes towards it have changed over the years that gay people should revel in the fact that it's moving in the right direction. And civil partnership, by all accounts, is a massive step.
