One more thing – I wouldn’t be annoyed about this if GLEN weren’t cheerfully talking about the kids of the couples involved in the album. Until I saw that, I found the whole thing lovely.

I do see your point. And I am genuinely happy for the people who’ve entered into civil partnerships and found it meaningful and benefited from the very real protections it provides.
I do, however, find that talking about the children of same-sex couples in the context of civil partnership and ignoring that they’re left out of these protections.. it feels horrible to me. I don’t think that there’s a time when it’s right to ignore the overwhelming unfairness of the kids who are deliberately legally excluded from their own families. Even on Valentine’s Day.
