We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Legalise Marriage for Same-Sex Couples. More details
Submitted by David Joseph Henry of Queer Youth – Deadline to sign up by: 01 September 2007 – Signatures: 643
We, the undersigned petition the government to equalise the system of marriage and civil partnerships so that they are open to couples of all orientations and to put pressure on religious institutions to welcome same sex marriage ceremonies. The system as it stands it’s inherently discriminatory.
Although domestic partners can register under the Civil Partnership Act, there still remains great inequality within the system as Civil Partnerships have created a two tier system of recognition maintaining 'marriage' is reserved for heterosexual couples and civil partnerships solely for same sex couples.
We believe all long-term domestic partnerships should be recognised under the same act of parliament whatever form that may take.
