LONDON, United Kingdom: Sue Wilkinson (L) and Celia Kitzinger address the media outside the High Court in central London, 31 July 2006. The British lesbian couple lost a bid Monday to win legal recognition in Britain for their marriage in Canada. Sue Wilkinson and Celia Kitzinger, who married nearly three years ago in British Columbia, went last month before the High Court to reject the status of “civil partnership” given them under a law enacted here late last year. However, President of the High Court Family Division, Sir Mark Potter, ruled that the new law in England was sufficient to guarantee their rights without going further and allowing them to be considered a married couple.
