Comments on: Rudolph: Florida, adoption and why marriage isn’t enough http://www.365gay.com/opinion/rudolph-florida-adoption-and-why-marriage-isnt-enough/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:07:21 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: John Bisceglia http://www.365gay.com/opinion/rudolph-florida-adoption-and-why-marriage-isnt-enough/comment-page-1/#comment-34166 John Bisceglia Sun, 07 Dec 2008 18:31:40 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=4457#comment-34166 I seriously doubt our government will give a rat's patootie about our right to employment without discrimination, D.A.D.T.'s idiocy, adoption rights without discrimination, or anything else until they respect and value OUR FAMILY AT HOME. What most people fail to understand is WHY we want these 1,138 rights - Because cruel suffering happens when those 1,138 rights are NOT in place! So until we have what other Americans get doled out to them LIKE CANDY, more individuals are taking this to the Supreme Court, and will refuse taxation until equal. The I.R.S. are FOOLS if they think ALL LGBT Americans are tax-compliant considering the blatant discrimination against our beloved families.

Common law partners do not automatically inherit each other's estates, for example, and in the case of a separation members of a common law relationship are not eligible for spousal support. These reasons, among others, are why I will be heading to City Hall with my partner of seven years now that we're having a baby--there are a number of things that marriage license does simplify.

But what we dont realize is that we dont let the children decide. you know the one thing i find interesting about this topic is the fact that we either think gays (lesbians also) and straights should have chilren then others believe only straights should have rights to children.

But if I'm reading the law correctly it is a part of the Uniform code of Military Justice. Therefore it is Congress who has to lift the Ban and not the Commander-in-Chief.
