True; although I'm still not totally sure about the 'seperate but equal' status in the UK - I'm glad it's there, and church wedding as you say isn't really important - but it's perceived as being somehow secondary. I prefer the Spain approach where there is absolutely no difference, it's marriage for both.
Any difference means that somehow it's seen as 'lesser', and the message goes out that we are somehow different - even if we have the same rights, it just seems a fudge.
But yeah, even that would be a step forward for our friends in the US. Grrr.
