So..... straight highly religious people want marriage to be exclusively for heterosexual unions, but we create a civil union only for homosexuals so as to have a clear distinction to shut the critics up and now we hear cries of 'discrimination.

No, nothing hypocritical going on here at all

*End sarcasm*

Fixed that for you, I'm straight and I think this topic is stupid, equal access for everyone.

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favour of Rebecca Steinfeld, 37, and Charles Keidan, 41, from London. The court said the Civil Partnership Act 2004 - which only applies to same-sex couples - is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.

Who cares. Only morons think laws change you.
