Allow opposite sex couples to enter into civil partnerships
Rejected

What the petition asks
As a gay man I was so happy the day we got the right to marry. It was gigantic and a true victory for equality thanks to the lgbt community and our heterosexual supporters. Let's show a little support and try and get out heterosexual friends a right that we have and they don't. EQUALITY is for all
Recently a heterosexual couple went to the high Court to try and enter into a civil partnership. They were rejected due to the wording of civil partnerships being between two same sex people.
