If they are unable to make health decisions on their own, should I be allowed to do so on their behalf?
If they are incapacitated and can no longer care for themselves, or make decisions for themselves, should I be allowed to take them home and provide care?
If my spouse dies, should I be allowed to keep all property that we have purchased together, in addition to inheriting any property they have only in their name..assuming no one else is named in a will?
Oh yeah, I am gay...my spouse is another guy....we are unable to legally marry...
While we can go to great lengths and expense to hire attorneys to draw up the appropriate documentation to protect us in such cases....most times courts will side with a blood relative over a non-related person in these matters...even when there are legal documents present.
So, my question is...out of basic decency and humanity, why wouldn't you support some sort of legal recognition of our 17 year relationship?
