I imagine it would have to be given to civil partnerships to avoid riling the LGBT sisterhood.
I'm not sure it's right, but I wouldn't give it back if it was offered.

Can't say I agree with tax breaks for being married, it will be worth very little in any case as we can't afford anything that would be worthwhile - Brown has bankrupted the nation."The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment
