'Gay men and lesbians are to be given the same right to marry as heterosexual couples under marriage law reforms expected to be announced this week.'
(From the front page of The Sunday Times.)

We've had civil partnerships since 2004, of course, but it's not quite the same...

Hmm, US conservative and British conservative must be quite different then. American conservative groups are so influenced so much by the religion conservatives, that it's hard to tell the difference really.

Oh yes. I mean, Obama is more right-wing than our Conservatives... Conservatives here are generally seen as posh and rich - which is pretty spot-on, to be honest. (There is also various working class right wing groups, of course, but they're not religious, just racist.)
