re: #333 Salamantis

But it is not legally NECESSARY to do so in cases of marriage like it is in the case of gay monogamous relationships who are willing to exchange commitment vows. And there’s the rub. It’s legally discriminatory, on the basis of sexual orientation.

If my husband or I died without a will, the rub is that one of us and the kids (for sure) would be screwed. The same would be true of homosexual partners.

I ‘think’ what you’re talking about is the issue of benefits like social security or health insurance via a partner?
