Gay Marriage / Gay Rights

[Cheyne]

I wonder when Texas will allow same sex marriages..

I think it's great gay couples are finally getting the right to be able to get married in most states now.

It used to be if one of the partners passed away the other would sometimes have no right to their deceased counterpart's stuff.The family of the dead person would be allowed to take what rightfully belonged to the living partner.

Not saying that's the only reason same sex couples get hitched.But it's a perk.

Not only stuff. Medical decisions, end of life care, funeral and burial decisions were often decided by parents or siblings of the ill/deceased partner with the living partner having no legal say.
