I don't have any issue with 'partnerships' in this sense. I always thought it was a bit unfair when one half of a same sex couple was not afforded the same rights on the death of their partner as a live in lover of a different sex. I think this is the inequality that it should be addressing. If two people (either same sex or different sex) share their lives for a substantial amount of time they should be allowed the same rights on the death of one or the other.

However, they are NOT marriages and I am very annoyed by the media and other people who call them that.
