"A British lesbian couple, "married" in Canada, is suing to have their native country redefine their cohabitatory status as legally "married" under UK law.  Sue Wilkinson, 51, and Celia Kitzinger, 48, will launch their suit with the UK's High Court Friday, vowing to take the matter to the European Court of Human Rights if necessary."
"Our relationship is not a civil partnership, it is a marriage," claimed Kitzinger, a sociology professor at Toronto's York University. "Any different-sex couple who did what we did would have had their marriage recognised. I feel insulted about being treated differently than a heterosexual couple," she told The Independent/

"Under new UK legislation, the pair can register their same-sex relationship under the Civil Partnership Act, which confers all the benefits of marriage except in name."
