But I thought same-sex marriage was already legal in the UK...

Civil partnership is legal. Not marriage.

*runs to check Wiki just in case*

...Oh wow. I was horribly misinformed all this time *facepalm*

Don't be too hard on yourself. The media reported it at the time as "gay marriage"; that headline must've stuck in your mind.

Yea...and the first time I heard of it was from my grandparents and parents who wouldn't know the difference. Meh. I don't live in the UK either so yea, the headlines must have been what stuck.

Yeah, technically it's a civil partnership but a lot of people call it marriage because it's shorter and quicker to say. Proper same-sex marriages don't exist just yet but we're getting there.

I clicked those links and filled them out.
