The sad thing is how much shit we still have to endure, and some of it, from supposedly "progressive/liberal" people. Marriage is a big one now, especially for me, even more so because of where I live (Oklahoma). Before we returned to OK, there was a story about a gay couple in Tulsa (well, outside of Tulsa), and when one of the partners died, after 27 years of being together, a third cousin...yes, a THIRD cousin, swooped in, challenged the will, and WON! He kicked the living partner OUT THIER OWN HOME! I discovered the state, itself, can actually challenge the will! I don't know what would happen to me if something happened to my partner (G-D forbid), because I don't know how his parents would react (he has no siblings, but there are all kinds of cousins). Now, as for my family, my mother is under strict orders to take out anyone...anyone, who challenges my partner in the event of my passing. My mother may be older and a little thing, but you really don't want to piss her off. So, my partner is well protected, which makes me very happy!
