The Facts about the Civil Partnership

The first Civil Partnerships will take place before Christmas 2005, with the government announcing an official implementation date of December 5th. To the delight of same-sex couples looking to make use of the new legislation, the Civil Partnership Act will come into force on the 5th, allowing for ceremonies to take place on 21st December.

But what difference will these new laws make to you? Is it the same as gay marriage? Will these new rights enable gay couples to adopt children? What's the fuss all about?

Pink Weddings are proud to partner with National Legal Services the largest home Will writing company that offers a wide range of products to suit every need. They have trained staff on the Civil partnership Act and have a dedicated Barrister studying all aspects of the Act. Jaclyn Stevenson (Director) has been working within the Gay community for 9 years and has studied closely the fact that the Gay community has had no Legal rights, No moral rights and No next of kin rights, until now
