Today, the civil unions bill comes into force, and people can apply for a licence. Good luck to everybody who does.

Possibly they have a different definition of "civilisation" to the rest of us...

I was delighted to see the photo in this article. I amused myself by covering the photo with my hand and asking a co-worker to visualise the first civil union couple, before revealing it.
And good luck to them, I say.
