This has not been addressed for Legacy v7. To handle these relationships, it will require extensive re-writing of Legacy's code and would cause a ripple effect that would affect several of the Legacy add-on programs made by other companies.

As most of you know, here in Canada same-sex marriages are not only lawful but also protected by our Human Rights Charter (part of our constitution), so over time many of your Canadian Legacy clients will have occasion to want to enter this marriage information about their gay relatives in their genealogy databases. In my rather limited family tree, I have three same-sex marriages (my own included) that I would like to record as marriages and not as common-law relationships, "friendships" or "partnerships" whose "relationship commencement date" is defined (as it is by Family Tree Maker) as the day that they met. Thanks. Stan P.S. I sincerely hope that you do not conclude that my asking this question is in any way a "political or social commentary, activist issue, religious opinion or morality lecture". (I just joined this user group a few days ago and would hate to be kicked off so soon.) It is a simple, dispassionate and objective observation that society is changing, and asking if Legacy will be keeping up with those changes or not. Having to use a "work-around" is a very distasteful way to treat anybody's spouse. ---------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Terry/Support Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 5:21 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Entering same gender partners Linking same-sex individuals isn't possible in Legacy Family Tree.
