The two have been together longer than a lot of heterosexual couples, but aren't allowed by law to make it formal.

I just finished last years. One argument for doing a few for others is it will pay for the good software I like to use but can't justify buying just to do mine. My rule is I don't do my own return till I've finished everyone else's. Usually like this year it gets done on October 15th. Jo "Tanada" wrote in message ink.net... Ok, I'm curious.

The list of unfairness goes on and on... Fine, get me started on my rant! Actually, you've made a lot of the points I was going to make. The insurance at both my employer and my husband's will cover "life partners," so at least that's one small step. Honestly, I don't understand what is going on in people's heads. I've heard people argue that marriage is for procreation ... but if that's the case, why do hetero couples with no intention to have children get to be married, while gay couples who do have kids don't get those benefits? It makes no sense! Some days, I just hate people =/ -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted! Eros has a home now! *cheer!* |
