<<Which is why I appreciate Jra's 30 years of strong advocacy for Sean and I to have a separate tier of right as much as I do. smiley: eyes>>

If you would pull your head out of your rectum you would note that I was advocating for every couple to have the exact same official/legal right and it might not have taken 30 years to get it.  You seem stuck on those who wanted only gay couples to have "Civil Unions".  That is not what we were fighting for.  I would like to point out that we eventually got same-sex marriage in my state without the SC having to make up new rights.

I am also advocating for us to move beyond "special rights and protections to a fair and equal society standing strong on the 14th amendments equal protections.

As for the hospital ignoring health/legal proxies, I guess the hospital couldn't wait for a lawsuit.  I never said that a health proxy would make hospitals follow the law.
