Rejected

What the petition asks
The To define marriage as exclusively only between one man and one woman petition has been shared in face book and has kicked up a right stink. No one wants it and it's so late in the equality day for this nonsense to rear its head again. It's stupid, nonsense and inhuman.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
