Goooooin' to the chapel and we're....
...gooooona be domestic partners!
It's official! At 8am on Monday, queers in Oregon will finally be given a few of the civil liberties all straight folks and some lucky tranny couples do! We will be able to go and get a Civil Union certificate which we file with the state at the courthouse for the same price as a marriage license. This enables us to file state taxes jointly (not federal though, yet), have medical power of attourney, rights of survivorship, easier second party adoption, and also makes us responsible for alimony and child support, which is awesome! We're so excited, it's about time. The right wing are trying to appeal the decision, but I don't imagine it'll do much good. I'm downloading the forms from the .gov as I type! Goin' to the courthouse of love!
