Other than your support for "Gay Marriage", I tend to agree with you Greg. We have discussed this a good bit here, (you were hanging out across the street when we did...<Grin>!) but in a nutshell, the only thing that I could not change for two individuals who choose to cohabitate as a couple; today, as the laws currently are, with just a few documents, is the Federal Tax Code.
Other than that, all benefits, rights, protection of tangible and intangible properties; again with a few documents, I can remedy, fix, guarantee, make right, and protect.
