What I am saying is that it is immensely easier to go through the bureaucratic hurdles if you are married. That is a statement of fact, not a moral judgement.
Do they give gays this 'Right' because they feel sorry for them or what? How hard does any government need to be against more 'Normal' humans ? To twist arms to make you conform to thier way of thinking is way out of line in my honest opinion . Please do not jump on your high horse because i have most likely heard it all before , these people are not asking for an easy way out by doing something they have not CHOSEN to do for thier own PERSONAL reasons , just as gays have thier own PERSONAL reasons . Proof of living together for a year is usualy enough to prove commitment and so it should be .
