LEARN WHAT EVEN LAWYERS CANNOT REPLICATE..
The Issue
No, there are too many Yale Law School grads in my family to not attempt some legal humour. This pledge is serious however.
Pledge to learn what it takes for a same sex couple to approximate the over a thousand protections, tax exemptions, and privileges given to heterosexual married couples in ****all*** 50 states due to DOMA.
The bottom line is that despite the best legal advice and the execution of the most expensive documents, there is no way whatsoever to approximate some important advantages that straight married couples receive automatically.
Educate yourself further on how children of same sex couples are disenfranchised and disadvantaged, as well as unnecessarily hurt by the second class definition of their families.
Pledge to learn that the majority of lesbian and gay citizens are either singles or couples who live their lives with the same moral value system as do the majority of straight citizens. Monogamous lesbian and gay couples raising their children, paying their taxes, and doing what is right by the rules, should receive the full rights and privileges of US citizenship.
