the thing is, for about a decade, a civil partnership was the only way for gay people to be "married" without actually being married. so many people simply didnt have that option. Furthermore, marriage still has a couple of downsides wherein the paperwork and rules may limit you in ways that a civil partnership does not. Marriage also has a religious connotation where some people (mostly atheists) would not be comfortable with.
Just get fucking married! Why do we have to come up with new names for shit that already has a name? "So yeah we are going to have this roller shoe it's soooo modern" "You mean rollerskates?" "Well no, it's similar but we call them roller shoes...SO MODERN" "They're literally just rollerskates..." This is a special kind of stupid.
The only reason why this is a thing is because some countries and politicians can't just bring themselves to legalize same sex marriage, even though it doesn't affect anyone's life In any way except the ones getting married
This was useful for my homework thanks.
Why would anyone enter a Civil Union when Marriage has more pluses (more recognition and protection for spouses)?

Do you need to say vows to get married or can you just sign the forms?
Heterosexual people can get civil partnership

Shush.
The concept of marriage is quite patriarchal and seen to be unequal by some.

Sounds like the same thing.
But gays want marriage
It is the same thing
i don't think the video lists a single similarity between the two....
The civil partnership doesn't screw men over financially.
