Anyway, domestic partnership is already a part of California family law. Gay couples have all the rights and privileges of married couples - health care, legal documents, etc. It’s all about the word “marriage” which they want to redefine.

Someone referred to her domestic partner as her “wife” which made me wonder if the “wife” calls her her “wife” too. See, it’s all about stupid semantics.

as Michael Medved points out, even Elton John(!) gets this.

actually they don't, I know a lawyer who is handling the case of a gay couple who did a will, power of attorney, and domestic partnership (in CA). The deceased's family came in and sued to get control of his assets as next of kin. So far the court found in their favor, a married couple wouldn't have to worry about it.
