congrats on your marriage. :) i think that's awesome.
personally, i think that someone from mass who's married needs to move to another open-minded state and sue the pants off them when they go to file their taxes as married in that state (and then how does that work for federal taxes?)... or when they go to take advantage of some other marital privledge. Perhaps benefits at a job, or housing. any other couple who gets married (say, in vegas), can go to their homestate and still be married. i think that's what needs to happen.
but relocation is a big deal.
personally, i think marriage is the only way to go. but i'm aware that this world is full of narrow bigots who think we are sub-human, so i'll take anything i can get at this point.
my job offers domestic partner benefits. i'll never leave this place just because it's such a friendly and open company to work for-- they're incredible, and they deserve my talent.
just my two cents.
