Give heterosexual couples the right to have a civil partnership
Rejected

What the petition asks
After years campaigning, homosexual couples were allowed to marry thanks to the marriage equality act. However the equality did not extend to heterosexual couples, who aren't allowed to enter in to a civil partnership based on their genders and sexual orientation. Which is clear discrimination
