Quote - 5. There is no need for gay marriage: it is sufficient for legal and medical purposes to sign appropriate papers giving to the other one the power to perform all the necessary actions in case one is incapacitated (e.g. telling those professional sadists called doctors to stop playing with someone and let him go the way we ALL will HAVE to go...).

 

What i get for $40 a gay couple would have to spend thousands of dollars to have written up by lawyers. Even then they would not recieve any benifits (social security, medicare, pensions, insurance, etc). There are many things that cannot be bestowed upon a partner with such a contract.

examples:

The marital communications privilege is the privilege allowing one spouse not to testify about confidential communications made to the other spouse. This only applies to legaly married couples.

In some cases confilct of intrest laws may not apply because the government does not recognize the gay relationship.

Taxes cannot be filed together. Debts to creditors are not shared.

Insurance companies view married couples as safer drivers, rates are lower strictly because of being married. Gay relationships are not recognized.

When one gay partner dies the inharitance is taxed. A spouce inherits tax free.

Private institutions are under no obligation to recognize your private contracts.
