>What did "marriage rights" actually change? I know taxes changed, and I assume there were some property implications beyond just sticking it to bigoted Christians, but that last part seemed to be the major feature.
If your "partner" is dying in the hospital, you don't have a legal right to be allowed to see them.
If your "spouse" is dying in the hospital, you do.
That's one example.
- mbg721 5y agoOkay, that's a good concrete example.
- BrendanEich 5y agoIt's also false. California had Domestic Partnership law that, as amended by 2008, afforded domestic partnerships the same rights and responsibilities as marriages under state law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_partnership_in_California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_partnership_in_Califo... I'm assuming dralley didn't know (is not lying), so my advice is to check incendiary claims and avoid parroting sources you have not checked. HTH!
- CRConrad 5y agoSo if they were pretty much the same thing already, why deny them the term "marriage"? Comes off as nothing more than jealous spite. Certainly not what one would call a very Christian attitude.
