The doctors interviewed 38 couples from the UK and asked them to complete questionnaires.

“Same sex relationships are seen as devoid of gender and gendered power relations, however, lesbian and gay male couples' accounts of, and approaches to, their own civil partnerships demonstrated the implicit gendered nature of civil partnerships," they conclude.

Lesbians were conscious of not over-stating the ceremony, more critical of consumerism typically.
