My Take on Gay Civil Partnerships – August 6th, 2011

There are many men and women that have met their gay counterparts in a gay chat. While some states have passed that men can marry men and women can marry women other states have not passed this. The thing that they can do is have a civil wedding. What this is is that they can have the ceremony. However, they can not file a marriage license like a regular heterosexual couple can.

There are many who have done this. They can have the bridal march and be given away all they want. However, they can get a certificate saying that they had a civil wedding. They do not have any legal standings. When they go to say that the spouse is to make the decisions should they end up in the hospital or so forth, the civil wedding doesn’t give them that right. Legally, they are not husband and husband or wife and wife.
