Gay couple’s civil partnership ceremony themed around transphobia

Gay conservative U.K. anti-transgender activist Alex Bramham recently entered a civil union with his partner. They used the ceremony to highlight their transphobic views and oppose government restrictions on religious views in civil ceremonies.

Bramham has become notorious in the U.K. LGBTQ+ community for opposing the legal recognition of transgender people’s gender identities. His partner seems to share his sentiment.
