:sorry: I did not reply earlier agis been very busy lately.
IMHO most LGBT couples feel married and live life as a married couple. It is only when we come to some legal issue that we encounter problems. The $363,000 dollars is a prime example of these problems. It seems to me that the very root cause of most of these legal issues have as a basis for problems starts with the IRS and tax codes. There is a vast difference between single and married status within these Tax Codes and these differences follow thru to many other Laws,Rules and Regulations when dealing with other Government agencies.
For me and many others, this fight is about equal treatment in these married vs single issues with the Government and its laws currently.
No need to apologize of course :hug2: you are always doing a lot for this forum imo and my jokes often border on the impertinence ;D . Btw I quite agree with you there. Every now and then it even happens one of your political or ideological enemies may prove up to give you a good laugh. On gay marriage in Italy, for instance, one of these straight à la Dongiovanni so said intellectuals of the so said right, Vittorio Sgarbi, once said:
Concerning marriage, to these gays who want it I'd do a really terrible and perfidious thing:
I would bestow it on them.
:laugh:
and with that one might start to wonder how much a good deal of difficulties are truly correlated with this poor ill-treated sex… ^-^
