Good. That registrar who refused them should be sacked. Quite apart from their clearly being homophobic, they weren’t even correctly applying the law.
>Sarah Osborne, who was in a same sex relationship, was refused permission to be named as a parent on the birth certificate after a Cambridge registrar said “there could only be one mother”.
…
>The law at the time of the birth, in 2014, was clear that same-sex female couples who have a child through IVF – and who consented to being treated as a parent – should be named on the child’s birth certificate.
Jesus fucking Christ on a stripper pole. Funny how absolutely nothing is said in the article about what happened to the homophobic registrar.
>”We recognise the impact this has had on the family ”
And that’s as close to an apology as you are going to get, apparently
Just one person not doing their job properly led to all of that. I wonder if any other people were affected.
