Polygamy

[JakeStarkey]

A good contract lawyer can not take care of what needs to be the equal of marriage perks. The entire law in many states has to to be changed.

I know of a man who was dying in [protected] and his sister would not let his partner visit him at the hospital. Until the other brother stepped in, she protested that he was "gay", and the brother told her he would whip her in front of her husband and then whip her husband in front of the children, but the partner was going to visit. And he did visit.

We can't have situations like that that rob individuals of the rights that marriage provides consenting adults.

The example you have given is a situation that has been corrected, without any change to marriage laws, and by the way, I agree with you that visitation rights should not be withheld to significant others regardless of family status or gender.

I am glad to hear that, but still the law will change to universal marriage in our life time.
