You're
probably going to be paying a lawyer hundreds of dollars to get these
documents drafted up. If you try to do a DIY power of attorney you may
fuck it up and not give the necessary powers to your partner. Also, if
you are trying to set something up with a business and the person you're
dealing with decides he hates fags, you will have to take them to court
to get them to recognize the Power of Attorney.
The nightmare
scenario for a partnered homosexual is that their partner gets in a car
accident or gets a terminal illness, and since their union isn't
recognized by the state it then goes to his or her partner's parents or
next-of-kin to make decisions. This becomes horrific if your partner's
parents are a couple of christ fags who say "Oh, we don't want you to
see your partner because Jesus told us so" and due to the fact your
partner is incapacitated and can't say otherwise, you are denied
communication with your partner during what could be the last days or
hours of their life.
Now, in states where civil unions have
passed most of these issues go away. However, there are occasionally
things that the civil union laws miss that wouldn't have been missed if
they were to just say "marriage" instead of creating a "marriage-like"
status.
Ultimately, I fucking hate all the Jesus freaks that feel
we must protect the "sanctity of marriage". When Jesus was around,
"marriage" was a man selling his daughter to another man for money or
goods. We call this "prostitution" today. |
