They want to find other couples (opposite and same sex) so they can take a joint case to the European Court of Human Rights. It's interesting - but could take ages of course.<br />On another topic, I know transpeople in the Metropolitan Community Church which has been very supportive to them. But of course you may not want to change church, and you shouldn't have to. Good luck.<br />WillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783574681368815744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882231434686318430.post-90716950824252054472010-01-24T08:24:31.561-08:002010-01-24T08:24:31.561-08:00Is it?

There's an interesting campaign going at the moment, a couple called Tom and Katharine who went to get a civil partnership at Islington Town Hall, knowing full well they'd be refused - they did it in part to draw attention to the continued discrepancy in the UK between the rights of same sex and opposite sex couples. I believe the situation is the same in Scotland.<br /><br />The issue we have in the UK (apart from the arguably unnecessary distinction between CPs and marriage) is that a legally registered relationship cannot remain intact following the transition of one (or both) partner(s) to another gender (although it is a small civil rights restriction compared to what's going on in the US).<br /><br />Anyway, I'm being a pedant as usual, but more importantly, very good luck with the person you have met and I hope you have every reason to keep smiling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783574681368815744noreply@blogger.com
