Marriage isn't just a certificate, it offers benefits that unmarried people do not have. The LGBT fought for the right to marry so they could have access to those benefits and rights that came with marriage that they didn't have before. I'm all for this couple getting a civil partnership if they want but it stinks of that childlike attitude of wanting something you basically already have because someone else has it.

This story is daft, if they want some kind of unity in a "non religious" way then they could go to register office and be done in 5 minutes .

Exactly, I mean I doubt anyone is bothered either way but it does seem like a childish point proving exercise

I don't understand why Civil partnerships are still a thing though, they were a stepping stone to equal marriage and they've served their purpose. They should be phased out at this point.

I don't understand why a straight couple wants "civil partnership" . There's all kinds of short quick ceremonies. People even get married by "Elvis" in Vegas ! Lol . |

I always thought marriage was just an excuse to have a party, and to recieve gifts to kit out your kitchen. I must have been wrong!

I get the impression they're wanting a fuss over nothing? . As I've said already they could just pop into the registry office with a few family & friends and be done in 5 mins and have a party afterwards. Makes no sense why they want a special "civil partnership" |

but i think it's the connotations that could be associated with marriage ... i mean to most sensible people in this day and age it doesn't matter a jot, but "partnership" doesn't have that connotation

hhhmmm I don't know, I reckon they were still trying to prove some sort of a point tbh, marriage is a partnership, those are the connotations I'd associate with marriage But whatever, I don't think anyone is actually bothered whether they want a civil partnership or not, it's their motives which seem a bit odd to me and unbelievable. I mean if you want to talk about connotations, the first thing I think of when I hear civil partnership is "less than marriage but to keep gay people happy" and is the reason gay people fought to be able to marry because of those connotations

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? |

Besides I was talking of why the institution of marriage was created - ,mainly for the pritection of women and children. Theses days most people work and pay their own contributions, children or not. |

That whole statement is quite bizarre, people aren't entitled to same rights as other people are if there isn't enough of them? What a backwards way of looking at things. |

I was always confused by straight couples wanting a civil partnership, because it always seemed like an insult really but somebody on here once explained why they personally wanted one

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. |
