This ‘tough love’ - it’s going to tell Kirsty she does want to get married, isn’t it? Helen’s job is to tell Kirsty - or anyone else for that matter - that whatever she is doing is wrong.

It has been suggested (by yon Fish, in conversation) that they will end up going for a Civil Partnership.

No doubt because the ignorant listening masses need informing that you won’t catch the Gay from having one of them (that bit’s me, btw).

IMO there’s absolutely no point in the continuing existence of CPs as distinct from civil marriages. (And the Crown dependencies like the Caymans that are still scared of The Gay – they’ve amended their marriage definition recently to make marriage equality harder to achieve – don’t recognise them at all.)

So Helen is going to bossily tell Kirsty she must have a CP to protect her interests, isn’t she?

Ah, but by opting for a CP rather than a CM you are throwing off the shackles of the patriarchy. Allegedly.
