Unmarried straight English couples angry over gay rights
Tony Blair's administration in England announced plans today to give gays and lesbians new legal rights as couples, plans that are also under fire for not doing anything to help all unmarried couples. Campaigners representing unmarried heterosexual couples said they would be frozen out of the plans which give next of kin access rights to gays in hospitals, allow them to benefit from a dead partner's pension and exempt them from inheritance tax on their partner's home. What they can't seem to remember is that queer couples can't get married, and they could and have chosen not to. Manchester Online
