So...
Frankly, I don't give a fuck if gay marriage was legal or not as long as the same rights are upheld. Which in NZ they ARE hence I don't feel the need to have a big fucking campaign to change a word.
I get you don't think it's a big deal, but you aren't gay. Seriously, Ace, ask your friends what they think, and I suspect you'll hear a different point of view. It's sure as hell better than what they had, better than what Colorado doesn't have, but i'm such a believer in equality, and it's not equal.
It cant be, if it's separate.
I have gay friends and I haven't heard complaints - and I don't give a fuck if they did complain because, as I said, I don't give a fuck if gay marriage was legal or not as long as the same rights are upheld
As long as you understand that it *is* institutionalized discrimination, and are fine with that. Yes, they have the same rights. Blacks had the same bathrooms. doesn't mean it was all hunky dory...
but I'll drop it.
I can only imagine the legal clusterfuck that would ensue trying to some kind of recognition for my relationship. "You see, Mr. County Clerk, we're very, er, special..."
That's why i like CU's above and beyond all. Two old men, straight as can be, are best friends. they live togother since their wives died, and rely on eachother. They should have the right to say "I want this person to be my legal support system" too.
as should two single moms.
You and your Lady.
Me and my cat. oh wait, he's not consenting. ;-)
A purr is legally binding in most states :-)
