First of all, the person who wrote this article needs to sharpen up on their skills. It was like a damn puzzle. Secondly, they need to cut the BULLSHIT. There is no proof of the dynamics of ANY relationship before it's registered (friends? lovers?, who the hell knows?). All of the questions being raised could be raised regardless of the sex of the parities involved. Of course, there is a simple solution to all of this: Cut the civil union crap, and only have marriage.
