It's been only three days since we launched our petition and fundraising campaign to open civil partnerships to all, regardless of sexual orientation. In that time, 400 of you have signed the petition and contributors to our GoFundMe appeal have donated over £3,000. Thank you for helping us make this fantastic start. We are also touched and overwhelmed by all of your messages of support - in the comments on this page, at GoFundMe, on Twitter and via private messages. You may be pleased to know that our campaign has received significant attention in the media, including two articles in The Guardian online and one in the print edition, which you can read below: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/02/couple-challenge-ban-heterosexual-civil-partnerships http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/03/civil-partnerships-for-everyone-heterosexual-couples This is all very encouraging. We'll continue to keep you updated. Thank you again for signing our petition.
