From today's Sun Newspaper (UK)...it appeared that the Sun were preparing to embrace inclusivity, as I read the following.

Then I read the very last line!

A GAY soldier is to wed his boyfriend in the first open civil partnership in the armed forces.

Cpl Andy Neal, 32, is currently married to a woman, but has left her to start a new life with his male lover, 27.

The dad-of-three split from his wife and kids soon after returning from war-torn Iraq last year. His civilian gay lover now stays with him in barracks instead. They met in November — after Cpl Neal’s DAD set him up on a blind date.

The infantryman hopes to become the first soldier to have a public gay wedding and live in Army married quarters with his lover.

He said: “It would be the final taboo broken.”

The Ministry of Defence say at least one gay couple have secretly wed already — but none have gone public.

Cpl Neal, stationed in Pirbright, Surrey, joined up in 1991 and wed wife Julie three years later.

He confessed he was gay weeks after the wedding — but kept quiet because of the Army ban on homosexuals at the time.

Cpl Neal said Julie emailed him last April as he fought in Iraq with the Royal Anglian Regiment to tell him she wanted to divorce.

The Army have supported him. He said. “From top to bottom, they have been brilliant.”
