“I want to divorce the man I love and he wants to divorce me. We do not wish to separate — simply to end our seven-year marriage. …we would prefer “to secure official status for our relationship in a way that supports the call for complete equality and is free of the negative, sexist connotations of marriage”. We are both fed up with being part of the hetero-husband-and-wife brigade that is accorded so much status and privilege.”

– Lara Pawson, writing in the Guardian (U.K).
