Finally, I've seen in the local paper for here, which covers only an area of 25 x 15 miles, on the weddings page, a picture of two gay guys who celebrated their civil partnership.
I've been waiting to see how long before the paper printed a picture of two very happy men, arms around each other, with all the details of their day, and their honeymoon, groomsmen, families, just like the ones of the het couples.
And there it was. Finally. I am so happy that even in this very conservative little place, common sense has reached the local paper.
That said, in the whole time Min and I have lived here, we have not once experienced any negative comments from a single person - employer, colleague, family, friend, local authority, landlord, neighbours - not a single person has even blinked at the knowledge that we are a couple, so I don't know why I'm surprised, but I am.
Well done guys, I'm delighted that you had a wonderful day.

Makes me smile every time i see them, because it means that same-sex is becoming normal. When I have children I want them to grow up not even questioning that same sex is an option, or how their parents will react.
