I find it amazing how a little word can generate such feeling.

'Marriage' has so many religious and legal ramifications, some of which vary from

jurisdiction to jurisdiction, that we have to define what we're talking about.

The warm and fuzzy feeling that gay (and lesbian) couples should be allowed to

commit to a long term loving partnership is only the tip of the iceberg.

Property rights, division of any children conceived (IVF or other) in the marriage,

financial child support, gay divorce and many I haven't tripped over in my reading

make this a headache of monumental proportions.

Comments?
