Some things I support...
The right to share property with anyone of your choosing...
The right to visit your loved one in a hospitol...
The right to bequeth property to anyone of your choosing...
I'm not even bent about "civil" unions per se..
But I draw the line at "marraige"....because plain and simple....what you want isnt marraige...and it can never be in reality...it will be that in name only....
You could have everything you want....but acceptance....and you'll never be able to legislate acceptance...
I agree with the article author...
But I give you props for sticking your neck out...this isnt exactly a gay friendly forum...*grin*
