It is not fair that with as little as $50 for the license and an appointment with the justice of the peace I can get married but not my friends and family.<br /><br />My Aunt Keri's best friend Charles died a few years ago, and had he not had the presence of mind to leave his partner everything in his will, Larry wouldn't have gotten anything. Not the house they shared, not the belongings they shared, none of it. It all would have gone to his mother who would not have given ANYTHING to Larry. And Larry, of course, was gracious enough to know that Charles' family would want certain things and shared with them. <br /><br />But had he not written his will the way he did Larry would not have had the same rights that I would have for my husband should he die. And even with the way that he had written the will didn't leave Larry with all the same rights. It caused a huge mess for him to deal with (even more so than the death of a loved one). <br /><br />Anyway, I've got a ton of other reasons, a ton of other friends with different circumstances, all of which would benefit from being allowed the same basic right of marriage.
