Rejected petition equal primogeniture for the throne

More details

The succession of the british monarchy is sexist as it's male primogeniture - which means the first born male heir regardless if his sister was born before him will have first claim to the throne. Sign this petition to put behind the ridiculous idea that men should be first to claim the throne because of their male and reinforce equality for everyone regardless of origin, race, sexuality or gender.
