On topic, good to know the worlds coming up to date a bit. But as I said in the other thread about this, I really dont get why its so much of a big deal. Civil partnerships in the UK have exactly the same rights as marriages as far as I am aware, so basically, its a load of fuss over a name IMO :S

Off topic - sounds interesting.

On topic, I understand what you're saying and that stands a very valid point but if the government is prepared to give gay couples in a civil partnership the same rights as straight couples in a marriage, I really don't see why they can't just call it a marriage. After all, if it's virtually the same thing - the only distinguishing factor being an unnecessary title - why the different titles?
