I suppose I really should mention...

... that I suggested to [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya that we get a civil union in accordance with Victorian law.

She said yes.

(I "blame", in part, [livejournal.com profile] airiefairie's excellent proposal for ending state-sanctioned marriage in favour of civil unions for all, and [livejournal.com profile] beagl and [livejournal.com profile] kimeros for cutting a similar path. Thanks for the inspiration.)

*nods* Yes she did, "Marriages should be left strictly to private religious institutions or social groups... Civil unions, on the other hand, are purely legal constructions with no affiliation to any culture, religion, or social group. That is the domain of the government."

You are in the presence of a wise woman :)

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!

Good for you.

... And that's a nifty article too.
