Same sex marriage

With respect as always Colin B ....i don't understand your post / pig-flying..what's up? Horror-Alien-Pigs are on the way to good old earth, a secret message or so...sorry think about the USA, Europe...and some Asia countries about this case, it is NOT HUMAN...no it isn't, Matt

Do I have to explain that ?

OK - Here goes:

On hearing something that is very unlikely to occur, we might say "Oh, yeah, when pigs fly !"

It means it will never happen... because obviously pigs never will...

I'm all in favour of equality.

But the legislation in the UK has produced an anomaly.

It used to be that gay couples could only live together without any legally binding contract.

Then the law was changed so that they could have a 'civil partnership', which gave their relationship legal standing,
albeit short of a real 'marriage'.

The latest change in the law allows them to marry with the same rights & protections as heterosexual couples.

But they still have the 'civil partnership' option, which is denied to heterosexual couples !

This is not equality !

A good example of the above has just been in the news.

If someone dies because of NHS negligence, their partner automatically gets compensation of £12,980.

But the recipient had to be a spouse or a civil partner.

But heterosexuals were denied the 'civil partnership' status available to 'same sex' partners !

If they weren't legally married, the partner, no matter how long they'd been together, got zilch !

This has only now been successfully challenged in court.:

I've long been an advocate of heterosexuals having the same choice of a marriage or civil partnership just like gay couples have.
It's just stupid!
We've gone from discrimination against gays to discrimination against heterosexuals, and both are wrong.
The lady in the case you highlighted lives five miles down the road from me... and she's right, it's like you're being made to have to have a legal relationship to prove your commitment to someone!
After a sixteen year relationship I'd say you're committed.
Good for her.

This is a scene of sheer joy. Hard to spot anyone sitting on their hands at the key moment.

Is that a euphemism?

I think it means 'add some seafood to the barbecue' in English...
