Can't you see it now?<br /><br />"She's my wife".<br />"Gay marriage is illegal in this state!"<br />"We were married when it was legal."<br />"So what?!"<br /><br />Sigh.IThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605163506396013904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271923532585508158.post-30793636021477644972009-06-05T16:27:55.552-07:002009-06-05T16:27:55.552-07:00Gee, you would think by now I would know to proof ...Gee, you would think by now I would know to proof read before hitting "submit".

...Gee, guess that means you are up to 3 readers! <br /><br />Seriously, you are right. As a married heterosexual woman I only had to prove my married state when I changed my name with Social Security, DMV, etc. right after we were married. My husband's job once took us overseas where we were likely to have to prove this -- part of the pre-move preparation from his company was instructions on what documentation we would need to take with us as they (correctly) assumed couples would not otherwise know how what to do for this.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752647845657172289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271923532585508158.post-70309978912059983632009-06-05T13:29:09.789-07:002009-06-05T13:29:09.789-07:00You are sadly correct....

I suspect interracial couples with marriage licenses may have had similar problems in the past (I hope not now).

This is a CLASSIC case for soneone like the ACLU, and should send a STRONG message to everyone in this state that civil unions are NOT equal to marriage.<br /><br />Those nurses--and that hospital--could be in very, very deep legal doo-doo.<br /><br />I also hope that the Attorney General's office is contacted.Canyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737285360280766111noreply@blogger.com
