O.K. What we are talking about. If you are on a pension and you die your wife continues to receive the pension.... If you have SS benefits and you die your wife continues to receive the benefits...until her death. If you and your wife sell a home and have a profit of over five hundred thousand and you have lived in the home two years you can take that money..... Single persons are only allowed two hundred fifty. Same sex couples living together even owning the house together can only take a single deduction. In all of the above and these are the only ones with which I have any familiarity two persons who have lived together all their lives..... and who are of the same sex cannot ..... That is why, in my opinion , gays want to have relationships that are of any longevity legalized... They will start to receive the same benefits that MARRIED couples have.. Call it whatever...... AND it is only recently that there have been legal documents that can be drawn up to protect one another's rights IF something should happen to one partner. I personally know of a case where the partner was not permitted by the parents of that woman to even see her dying partner.. She was excluded as the parents did not like that their daughter was a homosexual.. She never even got to say good bye to her partner of 10 years.. AND the parents kept the house, the furnishings etc. This is unjust in my way of thinking... Do you need anymore injustices...that could be remedied by what gays are calling marriage. I think they are doing it as that is the only way that they can qualify for what I have described here and there are more.. I just am not familiar with them.
