Government is fobbing off queers, gay group says
We got all excited when we read that the Gay and Lesbian Humanist
Association was saying the British government is fobbing off same-sex couples.
But it turns out that's a bad thing. Their point is that allowing queers to register partnerships instead of marry is an inferior, second-class solution. "We believe that the principle of equality is best served by opening up marriage, with all its rights and responsibilities, to same-sex partners," the group says. Spokesman Terry Sanderson adds that the reason the government is unwilling to offer marriage rights is its fear of religious groups: "We fear that the Government are running scared of reactions from religious groups if they were to use the word 'marriage' in this context." uk.gay.com
