So when you have your second heart attack...

...is your gay partner going to be allowed so sit vigil by your bed in the ICU? NO. Why not? Becuase "only family is allowed in the ICU". No amount of general power of attorney is going to override that bit of provincialism.

And as far as having the same tax arrangements as does a married couple, why shouldn't they?

(And no, I'm not accusing you, daemon, of having a gay partner. That's the "collective" you.)

sorry a general power of attourney puts you there

bedside, In most General POA's medical is covered, you are the only one making decisions for the person. My friend I spoke about had one for his Granma with Alzenheimers, he called all the shots.
Sure I dont mind the couple paying the marriage penalty, let them join the club.
