For what it's worth, referring to "genealogical standard's" it matters not what I think. For accuracy, all genealogists should record information "as it was, or is, in reality" and *not* what we wish it to be. Therefore, we enter information into Legacy Family Tree accordingly, even it that involves workarounds. I agree with flexibility in all programs, however, in all fairness to Legacy Family Tree an all of its programmers, no program can possibly meet 100 percent of everyone's wishes.

Michelle, That is you perrogative if you choose not to list gay marriages. However, I strongly feel that it should be an option for those who choose otherwise. I am gay. My partner and I have been together for 39 years. I would love to be able to combine our genealogy into one file. On a side note, the new Heredis has chosen to use the title of Partner rather then Husband/Wife. Also their software does not refuse to let you choose two Ms or two Fs. They are not making a statement for or against gay unions. They are giving the user the ability to choose how to record their information.
