I’ve heard too many people say that a 15 minute drive to the polls that have at most a 10 minute wait to agree with this view.
Polls, in TX at least, are open for at least 9 hours a day the first week of voting, at least 12 hours the next, and at least 12 hours on election day. There’s plenty of time to go before or after work for the majority of people, sure there are exceptions, but those exceptions don’t make up 60% of the population.
Paperwork didn’t help the partners of AIDS victims who were kept out of the hospital and heard of their partner’s passing via the obituaries and then kicked out of their house.
Even today, there are families who would separate sane sex partners and do the same awful things. Marriage guarantees rights, paperwork does nothing to stop the horrible people in our lives that would lash out at the first chance.
How would you protect the rights that go with marriage if you abolish marriage? Those include the right to visit your spouse in the hospital, right to attend spouse’s funeral, right to name spouse for inheritance purposes with legal weight, right to live in the housing you shared with your spouse after your spouse dies, right for your spouse to make medical decisions should you be unable to make those decisions, and others that I may be overlooking.
If only we could get people in blue cities to vote! So many in the past have claimed to support a dem candidate and when it came to it, they didn’t actually support anyone because they found excuse after excuse not to vote.
Separate but equal is not the solution you think it is.
Except the energy AI is using should also calculate the amount of time and energy used to create all the plagiarized works in its memory banks to make a better comparison.
Especially not using the lords name in vain. They want it to mean don’t say oh my God, but that doesn’t have anything to do with it. That means don’t say God tells you to do X or don’t do y when God didn’t actually say. Similar to people saying stop in the name of the king.
One of those misinterpretation that helps bad actors take advantage of people
The laws for POA would have to change to allow for such a union. There would have to be some kind of protection for wills as well, because there are going to be fights from people against the LGBTQ community.
If all marriages were dissolved and became unions, that might work. Otherwise, it would be a separate but equal thing.
