Civil partnership, Supreme Court decision

[Singlenotsingle]

Decision just announced that a heterosexual couple can have a civil partnership. Bit ironic really- gay couples wanted marriage, and now hetero couples want civil partnership. Surely there's no need for CP if you can get all the protection s through Wills, house in joint names etc and stay single?

As someone who is both religious and married, I'd have been quite happy if we'd moved to something closer to the French system: the legal bit is civic, the religious bit is optional, and there is a lesser level of commitment that still protects children and assets (but definitely not the inheritance laws which favour legitimate children).

Well that sounds like the worst of all possible worlds to me. Why should religious types get more rights for their rosaries?

They don’t. Where do you get that from?

Lots of religious types don't use rosaries!

And don't get more rights unless you count "God's blessing", which you can have after a civil ceremony if you want.

And why do people want to take away others rights - such as calls to abolish marriage now. If I want to be married why not let me? I have long supported civil partnerships both all.
