A couple today pledged to go to court in an attempt to overturn the ban on heterosexual civil partnerships.
Tom Freeman and Katherine Doyle, both 26, will begin a legal battle today after being refused a civil partnership at an Islington register office.
They are the second of eight couples — four heterosexual and four homosexual — applying for licences in a co-ordinated campaign to overturn the twin bans on gay marriages and heterosexual civil partnerships.
Mr Freeman, an administrator from Holloway, said he and his girlfriend were left “angry and hurt” when they initially realised they would be refused a civil partnership.
