With dna testing and civil unions the state gets out of the religion business remember that separation of church and state thingy?. Any one can claim they are married regardless of the state. I remember two guys from my youth that were married, introduced themselves as such. Were respected as such by people that knew them and that was in the late 1960's. They didnt need obama to walk them down the aisle to feel right. thanx, bill
Post #307,203 by drook 4/12/09 11:51:48 AM Reply	So they were covered on each other's insurance? They could visit in the hospital? They got the inheritance if someone died suddenly without a will? Yeah, that's the legal stuff, not the religious. And it's the stuff that the state hasn't (yet) decided to say can happen any other way than marriage. -- Drew
Post #307,208 by boxley 4/12/09 12:13:40 PM Reply	actually neither had insurance :-) they did discuss having wills, and general poa on each other so yes they were covered and it does cover the same things marriage does. A marriage license is similar to a general power of attorney confering many of the same rights and responsibilities

You're missing the point by a mile, as usual. - (CRConrad) - Oct. 1, 2010, 05:45:17 AM EDT

Define "married" - (drook) - (4) - Sept. 30, 2010, 10:02:54 AM EDT

Married=Living in a civil union(religious blessing optional) - (CRConrad) - (3) - Oct. 1, 2010, 06:10:50 AM EDT

Dammit, you're making a good point - (drook) - Oct. 1, 2010, 09:20:19 AM EDT
