Rejected petition Legislate for marriage and civil partnership equality.

More details

We live today in a country where same-sex couples are banned from marriage and opposite-sex couples are banned from civil partnerships. This is a confusing mess, especially when people are able to change their gender. It's time we brought in full marriage and civil partnership equality to allow people to have a real choice of how they wish to define their relationship legally, and to allow true religious freedom.
