Good afternoon everyone, please help if necessary please. I am a gay refugee with indefinite leave to remain, I have a boyfriend who is a British citizen and he wants to marry me. I am eligible to apply for naturalization in about two weeks time, my question is this; if we decide to ahead with it, will it be okay with the Home Office as I am not sure what their criteria is? Many thanks.

Not sure what your concern is but I guess you are concerned about entering into a same sex civil partnership (registered). Civil partnerships are legal in the UK and acceptable in main stream society and UKVI would not have any issues with that, from a legal or "good character" aspect.
Not sure whether you are planning to marry before or after your naturalisation. If you marry first and then naturalise you only need to document 3 years of residency as civil partner (spouse) of a British citizen.
