A step in the right direction
Gay couples to get joint rights
Gay and lesbian couples are to be given the chance to get similar legal rights to married couples under a new Civil Partnership Bill.
The measures, unveiled on Wednesday, allows legal recognition for gay couples for the first time.
The Bill gives the legal rights to same-sex couples who register their partnership at a civil ceremony.
It’s a good start - I don’t see any reason why gay people shouldn’t have the same rights as the rest of us.
