sex spouse benifits

[cigarbabe]

It may be in our constitution {somewhere?} but we are certainly getting screwed
for taxes in every damned state!
We have common law marriages in most states but what that entitles you to
is a different ballgame depending where you live.
If your partner doesn't have a health care proxy and a document giving them
legal guardianship or power of attorney in case of brain damage or dementia etc.
your partner will not be able to even visit you if you're in intensive care.
Forget about making legal or medical decisions for you they will find
a long lost, strange relative who may not even know you to make those decisions for you regardless of what you may have written down or told somebody.
These are the cases {generally speaking} that set the legal precedents for the push towards same sex marriage.
Do you know the hospital can even get legal guardianship of you if they don't like your "partner,lover,sister's decision making?
They aren't forced to tell the truth even about why they are seeking custody!
FWIW we do have same sex marriage in a few of our states
one of them being Massachusetts where I live.
My husband say this; "sure they should be able to get married and be miserable just like the rest of us!"
"Why shouldn't same sex couples get to lose everything like the rest of us when they get divorced?" He has since changed his views on marriage being between one woman and one man. Thank the Goddess!
Honestly why people feel such a burning need to deny couples who are slightly different from themselves basic rights such as whom they can love or marry is just incomprehensible to me.
It should concern no one but those couples involved.
I often ask those who would deny these rights to others this question:
How does it affect your personal life and your family's by voting "yes"
to let those in love marry? Does it harm you? Will it make you less of a man/woman, teacher,bank president,church goer?
There are several states who have passed laws for same sex couples, some are trying to overturn those laws and other states want to re-write the constitution to prevent same sex couples from having any kind of rights.
Why should we have to make new laws for them to be treated exactly
the same as you or I expect to be treated?
I thought the laws in the constitution were made for everyone
regardless of race,creed,color or sexual orientation yes?
Are they any less deserving of being treated like a human being?
I say no emphatically NO!
