It’s A Nice Day For A White Civil Union
The Relationships (Statutory References) Bill was passed yesterday by the NZ Parliament. This is the piece of legislation that changes all existing laws to give civil unions (mostly) equality with marriage. There are still some gaps in the “equality” though, the right to adoption has not been extended and also civil union partners of NZ citizens will not have the right of NZ citizenship. Quite important areas but I for one am happy with what what’s been achieved so far, and will leave the rest to fight another day.
So now me and Jan just have to get the white dresses, cake and marquee ready.
Oh, and save up $10000 to pay for it all.

Oh yay!
Can I just make one request, can I please be a bridesmaid? I’ve only ever been a bride and well, we know how that worked out……
