The issue of heterosexual civil partnerships is a delay issue, it's not a civil rights issue. It was invented to delay the gay marriage bill. There are literally no reasons for heterosexual couples to have a civil partnership, since marriage is already open to them and entails all that civil partnerships do (and more). Adding to that, if the gay marriage bill passes, civil partnerships would be obsolete, for the same reasons...
This doesn't mean I'm against civil partnerships for heterosexuals. If heterosexuals want them instead of marriages, fine, but there doesn't seem to be any point when it's a watered down version of what they already have at their disposal. So like I said; it's a delay issue.
