More details from petition creator

Currently civil partnerships are not permissible in religous buildings or buildings used primarily for religous purposes. Some faith groups are open to civil partnerships but are unable to perform legal partnership ceremonies under the current restrictions. This provides the churches the freedom to decide for themselves.
