Yes my landlord does know, I'm listed on the tenancy agreement as an agreed occupier, I guess the fact that my property manager is gay helps
As for the point about it taking more effort, this is one of the main problems, these days we are all suppose to have equal opportunity's in life. One section of society shouldn't have to go out of their way to get the same rights as the rest. I thought that sort of thing went out of the window with Emily Pankhurst and Martin Luther King. Obviously not, gays/lesbians are currently still treated with prejudice, many may not like to think of it like that but they are, perhaps this is down to the fact that we were/are not as vocal as ethnic minorities, or women.

Dr Wadd said - stop killing each other? Well yes. Have some kind of civil arrangement - yes - if Homosexuality has been legalised, then the logical progression is that a declaration of partership that is equivilant in the eyes of the law (though not necessarily the church) should exist. After all the Church doen't really recognise a civil marriage (unless you are trying to remarry).

Then where's the problem with calling it marriage? If the church don't recognize civil marriages but let them call it marriage then why not gay marriages??
