PAINTINGS of traditional wedding scenes have been removed from a register office in case they offend gay couples.

The pictures at Liverpool Register Office are being replaced with landscapes ahead of the introduction of "gay weddings" later this year.

Registrar Janet Taubman said the new paintings were less likely to offend.

She said: "We had two pictures up before. In one room there is a picture of a signing of the register with a young bride.

"The other was of a Romeo and Juliet on a swing. They were innocent pictures but the new paintings are less likely to offend."

Gay weddings, or civil partnerships as the ceremony will officially be known, will take place from December 21.

The new law allows gay people to sign an official document in front of a registrar and two witnesses.

The partnerships will allow same-sex couples to benefit from a dead
partners pension, grant next-of-kin rights in hospitals and exempt them from inheritance tax on a partner's home.

I did wonder if it was a reaction to genuine offence or if it was a pc issue right enough.

Anybody know?

I don't know myself Cam but I'd be very surprised if it was a reaction to genuine offence. I can't see any normal gay couple being offended by that
