This is America, there is no way this is going to happen. The goverment will step in.
As optimistic as that sounds, I don't believe it. Not when our CIC is trying to be the first president to amend the Constitution to TAKE AWAY rights instead of give them. This country will never recognise the GLBT community as 'real' people unless those in charge take the first step. The way I figure it, I pay taxes, and get treated like a citizen in every other way.... why, then, am I not given the same rights as everyone else? Sad as it seems, it's because of little towns like that and narrow minded people like that, that it will be years before I am allowed to legally marry, file taxes with and generally be a true partner in the legal sense of the word, with the person I love. I'm not expecting to be treated any different from anyone else, I just want to be treated the same. I'd like to be able to have my partner have certain legal rights to children etc without a veritable novel of power of attorneys and legal paperwork.

Sorry for the rambling reply, but this is something that I feel so strongly about that once i get going I can't shut up.
