In Sweden we have something called "borgerlig vigsel"~"civil wedding" in the city hall. It existed long before gay marriage, which became legal just a few years ago.

We have the "burgerlijk huwelijk", "civil wedding". Open for gay and straight relationships.
And we have "geregistreerd partnerschap", "Civil Partnership". Open for gay and straight partners.
And, if you want to do it different, you can also go to a Notary public to arrange the legal matters of living with a partner, regardless of genders.

Thanks for the Wikipedia link, genius. Now use a little bit of that great education you have to give me a one or two sentence summary. :wanker:

Quote from: Wikipedia
Civil partnerships in the United Kingdom, granted under the Civil Partnership Act 2004, are a very basic idea that will fly right over Pentagram's head because he is a moron who can't be arsed to read a simple article.

At least I'm not gay. Haha! :orly:

You're fat, lazy, and lonely, so I won't criticize you for looking at your heterosexuality as the silver lining of your life. At least the female pigs will know the joy of your devotion.

I'm beginning to sound like Sir Les. I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. :laugh:
:eyebrows: :laugh:

You can't come out the closet because you've become stuck in the doorway. :hahaha:

However(!) one thing I'm not, is fat  :zoinks:

Soaf. What does this matter?

Personally I think legal marriage should be banned altogether, even civil partnerships.

Why can't couples just stay together and just act like they're married? :dunno:

Lack of tax benefits and wedding gifts? :zoinks:
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

 i agree too. now. :)


I was legally married to someone I never lived with, and had more rights than people who live together for years.

It's all fuckotry. Just live like you want to live.

I agree that marriage is a load of bullshit. But at the same time it's a quick and easy way of getting all the legal protection (and yes financial benefits too lol) that comes with it.

Because they want to legally change the relation to their family. When they die, they don't want family to kick out the remaining partner out of the house, don't want to leave the remaining partner bereft of half of the goods.

It is legal security people seek. Can't see how gender should make any difference in the type of legal security you seek for a relationship.

:agreed:

I see no need for marriage when it is just about "love" and "weddings" etc etc

But the legal stuff definitely serves a purpose
