I don’t get why a such law took so long, but late is better than never.

      Need to do something for stuff like inheritance and visitation rights that’s currently coupled (pun intended) to marriage.

        Well in my ideal view we would abolish the state and abolish capitalism, so those things aren’t too much of an issue.

          That would solve many problems, but stuff like “Who gets to visit you in the hospital?” and “who gets your personal belongings when you expire?” might need some thought. There are likely easy to solve, but still require some thought.

            A will amd Power of Attorney do those without marriage. I’ve been with my partner for 15 years, unmarried, and haven’t had a problem with it yet.

            I was in a car accident and spent two weeks unconcious in the ICU, so its not like its untested either.

              True but a will and power of attourney are also more complicated and expensive to get

              Cmopared to standard marriage, are they any better or just extra steps
