UNCOUPLED?
Many people have asked me what would happen if Prop 8 passes.
I have said that it would not matter. I am married to John. Period.
Well, that is true in spirit. But the letter may be a bit more complicated.
Gay married couples face legal limbo if Prop. 8 passes
We are still domestic partners. We did not dissolve that. So if they dissolve our marriage, we will still be legally covered in almost all State respects.
Or all. I have never been quite 100% sure that it is the same as marriage.
In any case, this will be fought. Both sides promise this if 8 passes.
There are two routes. State and Federal.
It will be interesting.
Iif Prop 8 loses there won't be a fight. We will be married. Period.
Vote early and vote often. No on 8.
