it's very good to see gay couples getting the same rights as heterosexual married couples (see Guardian link).

but where are the rights for straight, unmarried couples. I have many friends living in long term unmarried relationships, and this is discrimination, pure and simple.

what's the justification? The "sanctity of marriage"?

Though I've not yet heard codified the list of things unmarried heterosexuals couples can't assert. Or why they want treated differently from other couples - even homosexuals are going to have sign paperwork to get the rights - in what way is that different from going to a registry office and signing the paperwork with the minimum of ceremony?
