On December 27, 2005 in the City and London Borough of Westminster, Inman entered into a civil partnership with Ron Lynch, his life partner of 33 years. This was allowed to take place under a new British law that had come into effect the week before which gave official recognition to same-sex relationships by way of civil partnerships, without official recognition by the Church of England. Full same-sex marriages were passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, for England and Wales, in July 2013 and came into force on March 13, 2014, with the first same-sex marriages taking place on March 29, 2014, seven years to the month after Inman's death.
