Abstract
French Abstract: L’affaire Wilkinson v. Kitzinger presente un vif interet pour le comparatiste. Elle met en exergue les conceptions divergentes de la notion d’egalite qui prevalent respectivement au Canada et au Royaume-Uni et explique que Canada et Royaume-Uni, au nom tous deux de l’egalite entre homosexuels et heterosexuels, aient adopte des solutions differentes pour regir les unions de couples de meme sexe. Tandis que le Canada n’a pas hesite en effet in fine a ouvrir les portes du mariage, le Royaume-Uni a prefere cree une institution specifique, mais a l’image du mariage. Alors qu’au Canada, tout statut homosexuel different du mariage constituerait sans doute une discrimination a raison de l’orientation sexuelle, l’alignement substantiel, en Angleterre, sous l'egide du Civil Partnership Act (ci-apres CPA), des droits et obligations des couples homosexuels sur ceux des couples heterosexuels, respectivement officiellement unis par un partenariat ou le mariage, fut celebre comme le triomphe de l’egalite entre couples de sexe oppose et de meme sexe. La notion d’egalite, au cœur des deux legislations canadienne et anglaise qui nous interessent ici, loi canadienne de 2005 et CPA 2004, est par consequent entendue fort differemment de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique. Nous nous efforcerons par cet article d’apporter quelques eclaircissements sur ces divergences avant d’envisager les possibilites d’un eventuel rapprochement dans le statut des couples homosexuels de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique. English Abstract: The case of Wilkinson v Kitzinger is deeply interesting for the comparatist. It reveals the strikingly different ways in which equality requirements were construed in Canada and the UK respectively. Whereas equality considerations led to the opening of marriage to same-sex couples in Canada, it led to the creation of a specific institution, distinct from and yet mirror of marriage, in the UK. What would in Canada amount to discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation was celebrated in the UK as the triumph of equality between same and opposite-sex couples. This article will analyse and explain these different constructions of equality before suggesting ways towards convergence in the regulation of same-sex couples' relationships across the Atlantic.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
