>>It's my understanding that inheritance and visitation rights have been given. I believe many/most corporations are even allowing such couples family health benefits.<<

Kate -

Some corporations provide health benefits for "domestic partners." Some don't. Some states may allow inheritance and visitation rights.

That's not enough. Equal treatment under the law is really the only acceptable standard, as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you for understanding.

I think that everyone understands, Kate. There's nothing complicated or difficult about your position. Understanding, however, does not convey agreement or approval, merely grasp of the POV.
