Great Britain Plans to Legalize Civil Unions

In the wake of Canada’s stunning legalization of gay marriage, the United
Kingdom is planning to create civil partnerships for same-sex couples that
will give them the rights and obligations of marriage, The Independent
reported June 18.

There are similar laws in the majority of European Union nations but the
U.K. has lagged behind. (Two European nations — The Netherlands and Belgium
– let gays marry under the ordinary marriage laws.)

The British initiative will be announced in November’s Queen’s Speech and
should become law next year.

“The changes would transform the lives of gay and lesbian people, allowing
them to benefit from a dead spouse’s pension, exempt them from inheritance
tax on a partner’s home and give next of kin rights in hospitals,” The
Independent said. “The proposals make the civil partnership as close to a
marriage contract as possible, even including provision for a form of
divorce through ‘dissolution’ of a partnership.”
