This is good news. I suspect it will become a pattern, despite missives
from certain nasty USAishers in this newsgroug. I exclude "The RTE Finn
(TM)" as I suppose he's indisposed, and not USAan.

You know... there just might be something to this notion of Womanly
attributes being trapped in Men's bodies... g

Thank You for the solicitation, but I'm really not interested.

I can never get my mind around two men or indeed two women getting
'married'. Perhaps I need re-educating.

Re-educate yourself about pension rights and inheritance. That's
what it's really about.

Come to San Francisco! Your mind will be manipulated into acceptance,
possibly approval.

More immediate concerns are being able to visit and/or make decisions
when one's in hospital, income tax advantages, savings on vehicle
insurance, employer health coverage, etc.

No need. It's got nothing to do with you. It's got everything to do with
the couples though.

While all true, health coverage is less of a pressing issue in countries
with socialised systems.

Exactly! Most of the "gay" couples I've known were far more
committed to each other than many heterosexuals. Why should
they not have the same rights? (Like "citizen142", I can't
quite imagine myself in such a relationship, but we're not
all alike, and IMO "love" is "love" - the world could do
with a lot more of that emotion.)
