Petition Change adultery for grounds of divorce to apply to same-sex affairs

According to current UK law, you cannot divorce someone on grounds of adultery if it's a same-sex affair. This technically means that you don't legally commit adultery if you cheat on your partner with someone of the same sex- even if you are in a same-sex marriage. This needs to change.

More details

In order for heterosexual and homosexual couples to have completely equal rights, the UK law needs to change urgently.
