(Cape Town, South Africa) The National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality warned Friday that South Africa's Civil Union bill is unconstitutional and if it passes the government will be hauled before the Constitutional Court. The legislation passed its last hurdle in committee earlier this week (story) and heads to the floor of Parliament for debate on Tuesday. The measure gives same-sex couples all of the rights of marriage but without the name. That says the NCGLE perpetuates discrimination in violation of South Africa's constitution.
