Now marriage out of order
By Ashley Rogers
The word 'marriage' is to be taken off register office signs in case it offends gay couples turning up for civil partnership ceremonies.
Councils in the West Midlands are being recommended to remove references to marriage suites at register offices after the introduction of the new partnerships last month.
Government body LACORS (the Local Authorities Coordinators of Regulatory Services) has issued a Civil Partnership checklist.
The organisation provides advice for local councils nationwide on a wide variety of subjects. However, the General Register Office of England and Wales say they have issued no guidelines over the signs and it is entirely a matter for local authorities.
