Coming soon to a consulate near you!

The British Embassy in Dublin has announced that it will begin hosting civil partnership ceremonies for same sex couples. Neither marriage nor civil partnerships are available as an option for gay couples in the Irish Republic so this will be the only means of tying the know available to couples in Eire. The only restriction is that one of the partners must be a British citizen.

Surely it can only be a matter of time before they start offering this service elsewhere including the US. British embassies and / or consulates in America are located in Washington DC, Boston, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Seattle, Miami and Orlando. Shame there isn't one in Topeka. I'm sure that the good Reverend Phelps would relish the challange!
