Civil partnership is not the same as marriage. It is different in many ways. Although civil partnership does offer some rights and protections, it is not equality and it does not extend all the same rights to same sex couples as marriage would, including rights in relation to children and other critical rights.
Marriage Equality has been campaigning since February 2008 for equality for same sex couples, our families and our children.
We are almost there. But we urgently need your help.
