I think there is a simple question that might turn on the light bulb for a few of you.

If you are a guy : When did you decide to like girls?  .... what's that?  It wasn't a conscious decision?  You always just knew you liked girls?

It's time we stopped discriminating or hating people for something, that for the vast majority, they cannot control.  

Just as I don't tell people what I do with my wife in our bedroom, who cares what they are doing in theirs?

To me, it's strictly an issue of access to hospital and hospice, inheritance and right to legal authority without a clearly defined will- but an assumed executor as surviving partner.

Our parents can hate our spouces but there is an assumed authority by being one and they don't have much to say over our estates vs. the surviving partner.


That's how I view this issue also.   :thumbsup:

^ I've always wondered about the legalities of these unions. I know this woman that had promissory ceremonies, in lieu of Minnesota not allowing gay marriage. They lived together for a couple of years as partners and then decided to part ways. It was easier for them to "walk away" than it is for heterosexuals as there is no divorce proceedings to go through. I've always thought that could/would be quite difficult in the way of deciding who gets the house if both names are on it? Would one have to sue the other if it ended in less than friendly terms and then the judge would decide?
:dunno:

No fault divorce is a crock. If one spouse carries on a relationship outside the marriage and then leaves, half shouldn't be on the menu. This is like a business deal where one side cheated and the other side should receive fair compensation.  However, this is one of the few reasons I'd allow to contest fair divide. You argue a lot and don't get along...well, then it's a 50/50 split.

So, Gijoeman...How would YOU PROVE one spouse didn't contribute to at least earning half of the marital assets gained during the course of the marriage because of an accusations by the other spouse that infidelity occured??  

What about if there are children in common?  

Do you really think children in common between a couple (married or separated) care if mom or dad  has the living room furniture or why a Judge granted this to one parent and not the other in their divorce?  

Try looking at divorce proceedings in the U.S. from a child's point of view instead of as an adult victim's viewpoint...

Try to do so without compromising the TRUTH and JUSTICE as it should be RULED based upon the RIGHTS of INNOCENT CHILDREN!
