[The Guardian] July 29, 2005--'Civil partnerships are not a form of marriage," the bishops of the Church of England have just asserted, nervously. Yeah, right. Imagine the scene: in front of a registrar and two witnesses, the happy couple will make binding commitments to each other, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. Tears will be shed, hands will be joined. And then off to the reception for a few glasses of pink champagne, followed by a lifetime of faithful love, companionship and sexual intimacy. Is this marriage? Who cares what bishops think? They don't have a veto on our use of the word.
