Birth cirtificate for same sex couple that have a baby. Not marriage.
Want to be able to go on a baby birth cirtificate if I helped create this life, if me and my partner decide to have a baby we shouldn’t have to be married for legal parental rights when we live together are together and are having a baby together.
I would love the government to just help make it fair for others that want to extend there family’s but not have to marry straight away, and man and a woman can have a baby and not be married but still have equal rights.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Whether someone is married doesn't affect whether their name can appear on a birth certificate, so we're not sure what changes to the law you'd like to see.
In many circumstances, female couples can already include both their names on their child’s birth certificate when registering the birth, whether or not they are married.
Male couples need to apply to the courts, but it also doesn't matter whether or not they are married.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like to happen.
