Comments on: Irish gay group claims civil partnerships are discriminatory http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-8100.html/ PinkNews.co.uk Gay News (UK and world) from Pink News - all the gay news for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community in the UK and beyond- thegaynews from Pink News Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:32:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Robert, ex-pat Brit http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-8100.html/comment-page-1/#comment-32044 Robert, ex-pat Brit Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:48:50 +0000 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=8100#comment-32044 I totally concur with Tony Crew's article. Its not about equality at all, how can it be when you segregate an entire group of people with similar but not all rights as enjoyed by their married straight counterparts. Where's the equality in that? With the exception of Spain, the other five countries that allow their gay citizens to marry abandoned second rate partnerships/unions because unlike our own UK government and the majority of its gay citizens, they realised that they were not about equality and in fact discriminated by their very nature. In a true democracy, you can't have one set of rules for the majority and another for one specific group, that alone is discrimination in its purest form. Shameful!
