Really? Where? Just curious. [/QUOTE]I personally know of three couples here in the Metroplex area. In fact, Tom had David on his medical coverage as a "domestic partner" while I couldn't carry Belle because she was a female who was not (at that time) my wife.

This alone leads me to the conclusion that the only thing homosexual couples cannot attain right now is an official Certificate of Marriage. By itself, that piece of paper doesn't add anything they cannot already have.

I think this whole "gay marriage movement" is simply a collective desire to prove something, to force acceptance and recognition of their lifesyle by the general population. [img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img] If you have to force recognition of something upon others, is it really worth having? Are you not content with your own personal acceptance? Why the need for external recognition?

*shrug* It's the 2000s. It's hip to be homosexual.
