Give equal rights to same sex-couples. For heterosexual couples any man can be included on the birth register if the parents sign the register together. A man is also allowed to be added to a birth certificate if they did not attend the registration but marry the mother at a later date. This isn't the case for same sex-couples. We are not treated as equal in a society that consistently claims to have equal rights for all.
