Happy Christmas

Especially to everyone who registered their relationship with the state this year. Rob and I registered ours with the state in 2003 in Reading Town Hall, surrounded by family and friends (all those eyes, my god, will I ever recover?) and it brings me great joy that so many more people can now do that. I think it's a fantastic thing to happen just before Christmas. It's a big big present to the whole country - the world is a little bit fairer than it was before.

I almost didn't get married at all, because of the lack of gay marriage, but the laws about child guardianship at the time decided me. Those laws have also since changed. I have no idea what I'd decide now but I'm happy with what's happened :)

Seconding that. It's a fantastic step in the right direction, and one that makes me glad to be British. Huzzah, and Happy Christmas!
