Based on the 2005 Oxford Clarendon Lectures in Law, this book deals with the remarkable change in society's attitude to homosexuality over the last half century. Until 1967, homosexual acts were punished by the criminal law and as recently as 1988, Parliament forbade teachers from suggesting that homosexuality was an acceptable family relationship. In 2005, Parliament passed the Civil Partnership Act, which creates a framework in which same-sex couples can have their relationship legally recognized in much the same way as marriage. This book looks at the essentials of the civil partnerships construct, and asks whether it is really creating an institution of 'gay marriage'? If not, the next question to ask is whether civil partnership can satisfy the demands for equality increasingly being made by the gay community?
