Alan,
There are two people in a marriage so $250,000 times 2 = $500,000. Alan it sounds like you need to call your state and federal representatives and talk to them in modifying these laws that you find so offensive.

Oral arguments will be held March 5, 2009. Hopefully the CA Supreme Court will overturn that hideous ballot initiative. Probably 4-3 like the original decision.

The CA Supreme Court is also going to decide whether all of the 18,000 couples married between May and November can still be married or will be involuntarily divorced. I for one do not want to divorce my partner. We're married, we have the document to prove it. We love each other and want to stay with each other, forever. I don't think it's too much for us to have the same rights, priviledges and responsibilities that are afforded to other couples.
Take good care of yourselves,
Steve

 Please God... help me to understand why using such an emotionally charged term persists??? Each time I see or hear the "gay marriage" debate it annoys me to see the polarity among people who are usually loving, caring, tolerant... In my view there is far more likely-hood of achieving a consensus of support for the legal recognition of same sex couples by the government. As I see it the underlying issue is about spousal rights that already devolve to partners in opposite sex couples but not to partners in same sex couples; like survivor benefits... The issue has taken on a life of it's own and become a grand Theosophical debate, and all because using the word "marriage" gets emotional attention. The haters will hate regardless, and their flocks will follow if there is a strong emotional hook and an identifiable enemy. Let's all pray that the emotional hook be removed and the haters lose their wider following. Love, Wes
