Comedian Matt Lucas and his partner Kevin McGree are splitting up, in what has been described as the first "gay divorce". So what's different about the break-up of a civil partnership?

With the news hitting the headlines of the first celebrity "gay divorce" of Matt Lucas and Kevin McGee, following within days of Madonna and Guy's much publicised separation, certain important questions arise.

They're pretty similar to marriages, except that adultery cannot be cited as a reason for the dissolution of a civil partnership, since gay and lesbian couples cannot technically commit adultery.

Relationships end. Why the surprise?

Donno, just a very naive presumption that one should marry if partners are serious about each other and in it for the long haul. Wonder what is the 'unreasonable conduct' cited in the divorce ?
