A same sex couple has successfully demanded that a church registers both partners as the “mother” on its official baptism register, despite being told by the vicar that the practice was potentially illegal.
Earlier this week, CBBC (the BBC's channel for children) aired a programme documenting the civil partnership ceremony for two men organised by their three children.
New guidelines published by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) suggest that IVF treatment on the NHS should be offered to same-sex couples as well as women over the age of 40.
