In theory, if people are daft enough, and want to, I think marriage should be available to all, regardless of the gender of the person that you want to carry over the threshold.

However, I also agree that similarly everyone should therefore be able to enter into a civil partnership, if we are to have them.

Equality should apply to all.

Regardless.

As civil partnerships currently give the same legal status as marriage, I really don't see why this is a pressing issue for Cameron.

I disagree that it's a vote loser, most people nowadays don't give a stuff, it just seems a battle the Prime Minister doesn't really need to fight right now.
