Assuming a genuine question, the answer is yes, though I have not seen it on any of the patches I have been living. They are no longer called MQs (and haven't been for some years now), instead they are called Families' Quarters (FQs).

I suppose it's a measure of progress that the main issues raised in relation to this change were the poor initial attempts at defining what was meant by a 'long-term relationship' (this was in the days before Civil Partnerships), and whether the same qualifying standards would be applied to non-married heterosexuals. I believe they do, but again, I have no personal experience.
