Oh,

And I do believe there should be some sort of standing between partners that should have the same legal weight as marriage. Some sort of life partner pledge or what ever.

However, it must be registered in the same fashion as marriage, and it must be dissolved in the same fashion as well.

None of this, we'll claim we are partners if it is to our benefit.

If you want the same benefits, you must enter into a comittment as legally binding as marriage.

Fair is fair, right?

In fact, I'd go as far as to say, that I believe marriage should be something done in accordance with religous beliefs between one man and one woman (but I know this opens a can of worms.)

If you are a man and woman who don't want to take vows according to your religious beliefs, or you want a same sex union, the other union is available as well.

Of course, I realize there will still be some stigma attached to each of those types of unions by those who believe otherwise.

However, I don't think any legislation will ever rid our society of that.
