[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Protest the passage of Prop 8

[Cabal]

I don't see the "Monarchy" thing.

As for the state being involved, well that's about legal rights. After all,
family has rights to access when a member is sick, to monies when a member
is incapacitated, to inheritance when someone dies. You need marriage to
become a legal family member, to be recognized as a spouse for health
insurance, to file joint tax returns, to take a mortgage out, to adopt a
child (where legal) to be allowed in a trauma room or ICU in an emergency,
to have custody of children birthed or fathered by the other partner. 

It's about the legal rights of family.

As for same-sex marriage being legal in other states where it's already
legal, that's not it. 

If you are legally married in one state, then all states are required to
recognize that marriage. That's another issue in the courts.

  I suppose prop. 8 will cause massive havoc in the end...


Yea or neigh...there are just so many states to protest in...

Realistically thinking...it'd be better to ban all civil 
unions...why on earth does the state need to be involved with 
marriage anyhow(beyond revenues?)?  Harkens back to the days of 
monarchy!

(Who thinks it is beyond ridiculous that those who were married 
before said proposition passed can remain so legally-in all states 
where same sex marriage was lawful..but no new marriages can occur. 
Ludicrous)
