First Civil Partnership Ceremony
First broadcast: 19 December 2005
As the first UK civil partnership ceremonies take place in Belfast, not everyone is happy about this change in the law. Religious groups campaign against what they describe as a 'day of shame', while heterosexual common-law couples feel they have been discriminated against by not receiving identical benefits as same-sex couples, who can register their civil partnerships.
