The fact that some couples entering into civil unions may have to go to the additional trouble and expense of drawing up such inheritances, while married couples do not. And that in some states, civil unions aren’t even available, so the gratuitous, discriminatory and unnecessary hassle is unavoidable.

But heterosexual couples who are unmarried have to (should) cover themselves/each other the same way. And married couples still have to make sure that all is well legally when a crisis or death occurs.

In Ohio, gay unions are unavailable, but my friend and his partner are wise enough to have made sure they covered their bases. And my husband and I did the same thing even though we’re married and Ohio is a dower state. We all did so because it’s a prudent thing to do, regardless of the circumstances.
