would be to happy about that...you know it was a good point which is why you could only joke...that fact that you could even have a civil union where in another place just 6 or 7 thousand miles away you would be stoned if it were known about your situation...

Believe me...I have an uncle that is not much older than me that is "alternative" he used to live in San Diego until 03 and told me about all the shit that goes on out there with the old coots chasing boy toys and the money and the parties and the carelessness....pretty mind blowing shit going on behind the "SCENE"...being an open minded person...you just say wow and shrug your shoulders. I respect your decision to get hitched to be honest since it lowers your risks.
