Owen Jones gets civil partnered!

They are so often Brazilians. A bit odd Jones still uses X, but I suppose he's allowed to let convenience trump principle, unlike those he attacks.

Starting off his 40s with a bang!

I'm really happy for him/them. Even if this makes him 10% less angry, it will be worth it for the rest of us in his audience.

Who is this "Miss Owen Jones"?

Did I not get the E-mail?

Am I a bad gay for not knowing who the hell this person is?

Seriously R5, am I a "Bad Gay man"? Should I know this person!!

I cheated on my BF, but I asked permission from him first& he said he wanted video. I always give the BF what He want.

He's British and a prominent media person. If your world doesn't extend that far, then no, you probably won't have heard of him.

Can gays not get married in the UK? The "civil partner" is cuter than Owen deserves, if you ask me.

Owen Jones is arguably Britain's most annoying and insufferable champagne socialist.

Aw, parabéns, boys!

So is the Brazilian a real doctor? Or only a doctor in Brazil

UK here.

Civil partnerships were introduced while there was still a lot of wrangling (especially from the churches) over the status of marriage between people of the same sex.

It remained an option after equal marriage was legalised for people who didn’t like the historical associations marriage had. There were unsurprisingly, right on straight people kicking up a stink because they didn’t want to be seen to uphold traditional marriage. Straight people can now have a civil partnership. I bet the receptions are a barrel of laughs.

Owen Jones is a pain in the knockers. He is only having a civil partnership to show how progressive and anti-patriarchy he is.

In the photos Owen Jones has the long horseface associated with Ozempic use, which is weird because he's never been fat.

R11 To be honest I suspect the reason Owen and his partner had a civil partnership is because CPs are completely secular. Many atheists view even civil marriage as having (albeit weak) connotations to religion.

I think gay marriage should have been legalised from day one, but CPs were invented to appease homophobes and there was no putting the genie back into the bottle.

Who?

Strange he refers to his new, er, "civil partner" as "this Brazilian doctor..."

Good for him. However, can your Brits please find ANYONE more likable to speak on behalf of us?

Every single time he's on any show, I almost want the other side to win! (Not really, of course.)

That's how much that man irritates me. Such a whiny, sniveling guy.

The UK has a majority who are non religious. That has been the case for many decades. The Church of England is the Established Church, but it’s becoming less and less relevant.

What's with taking pictures in the dunny on your wedding day? Is it where they met?

How big is his uncut schlong?

One of his big moments was 8 years ago when he got fed up with the hosts of Sky News during the coverage of the massacre at the Pulse (gay) nightclub in Florida. He got angry and walked out because he believed they preferred to see this as an attack on all of humanity and not just the gays.

The intensity starts at timemark 2:00.

He is insufferable, even when right. Also, he married during the weekend but has been tweeting non-stop. If i were his partner, the Brazilian doctor, i’d be pissed off.

Also, the shared wedding photos are very tasteful: one in a public bathroom, another cutting the cake in front of a creepy male mannequin without pants.

Why not married?

R22

R22 Reading is fundamental.

The posts above explain it all.

Fuck off assholes

Who the fuck is Owen Jones???

Who knows. Some gay porn model I guess

I know tons of gay Brits who are married. The civil partnership is suspicious. Owen is a creep, a grifter, and an antisemitic cunt who throws tantrums like a pussy.

Civil Partnership?

Did he get knocked up?

We had a civil partnership because it offered the same rights in law as marriage, which was not yet an option. We treated it as a wedding and had a great time.

When equal marriage was passed into law, existing civil partnerships could be converted to marriage retroactively from the original date.

This is what we did. It was a simple paper exercise with an official from the local authority. We had already had the huge party, so we went to our favourite restaurant afterwards.

TRA in the tweets, TERF in the sheets.

Many of us can't see his posts because he has us blocked.

R32 he blocked me years ago after one mildly mocking comment. He's such a brittle flake.

The term “punchable face” may get thrown around a bit loosely now, but he’s still a prime example.

I used to like him, but his over the top denouncement of the Labour party since Corbyn was ousted put me off him. Now he seems determined to slate them at every turn. I still don't have the dislike many seem to have of him, though. He puts up with a lot of abuse, whereas worse people get away with a lot less.

But that aside, it's always good to see happy gay couples getting married/civil partnered.

I used to enjoy his columns in The Guardian, but he's someone who hasn't grown with time. He's 40 but still writes with the zeal of an undergraduate.

Is his hubby a Brazilian doctor?

Was Keir Starmer's father a toolmaker?

He posted a really long thread the other day about being stalked. It sounded a bit hyperbolic like most things he writes.
