My point exactly, and why when I read it I posted it up for discussion.
But it begs the question, of which do we attach the most weight. I think most people agree that civil partnerships were at the the time of being brought in, long overdue. Same sex partners should have the same rights, ie pension death benefits etc.........etc.........etc.........
BUT...............
In wanting respect, equal rights, and their partnerships to be recognised by the wider public at large, should members of the LGBT community not also respect the rights of those who hold religious beliefs?????
I only ask as I have a very similar situation at work, I'm very friendly with both parties, and both have asked me for some general advice.
