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"?

I want equality too. My point is that gay couples should be able to get married with the attached 'married' title (apart from in some religious institutions - sadly there's nothing the government can do about that).

I think the real question here is - what is the issue with an opposite sex marriage in a registry office without any of the religious trappings? Surely that is formalising a partnership?
