Trent:- It is surely about decency and fairness.
It would appear that some think that even though I pay exactly the same funds into my pension I am not due to the same benefits purely as a result of my sexuality.
I have been with my partner for 38 years now why should he not be entitled to exactly the same benefits as the opposite sex spouses of my work colleagues?
I agree with you Trent but the remark originally made was, I thought, referring to what could or should have been done in the days before there was SSM. The fact is such equal rights had to be fought for, sad and unjust though that was.
