right here in the united kingdom, the legal definition of marriage is the "union of a guy and a woman". We do have Civil Partnership, which permits comparable rights of inheritance, pensions etc. those Civil Partnerships are frequently puzzled with gay marriage yet in certainty are purely partnerships which make comparable intercourse couples subsequent of kinfolk. there isn't any requirement in regulation for the couple to be gay.

I believe that Britian also passed a same sex bill that allows these types of unions. Elton John just married his man not that long ago and it took place in Britian.
