“Common law marriage?”
In Florida, at least, Common Law marriage was eliminated by the Legislature in 1968. But, my guess is that if its legal between man and woman that this guy (gay) would say it’s legal for two same-sex people. (I was actually very surprised that he wasn’t even more liberal. But he’s responsible for profit at his company too.)
Liberals don’t do well in things like accounting or engineering if they let their political views interfere with reality.
The last space shuttle disaster are a great case in point.
