British bill will allow gay unions
A new bill will allow gay and lesbian couples to register their unions as civil partnerships, giving them most of the rights associated with marriage, but without actually calling them marriages. A recent survey in Britain reported the reforms have the support of 8 out of 10 people. Gay couples will be able to adopt together, control wills and inheritance, and carry the responsibility to support each other financially. Limits are expected to be included in the bill on issues such as bans on people related by blood, and age restrictions.
