... that I suggested to
caseopaya that we get a civil union in accordance with Victorian law.
She said yes.
(I "blame", in part,
airiefairie's excellent proposal for ending state-sanctioned marriage in favour of civil unions for all, and
beagl and
kimeros for cutting a similar path. Thanks for the inspiration.)

Congratulations.

I can recognise that the model proposed is indeed the most beneficial pathway for the future that could keep everyone in the debate happy. So yes, very seriously indeed!

Date: 2009-07-29 09:26 pm (UTC)I'm wondering if there's an option for people, if they so wish (because I suspect there is a few), to change their status of marriage to a civil union?
(Obviously with jurisdiction caveats etc)
