Another Reason to Allow Gay Marriage
Because Civil Unions do not give homosexuals equal rights. First there was the Rosie O’Donnell trial, in which we found out that spousal privilege is not extended to those couples who have had civil unions.
Now we have the case of B. Birgit Koebke and Kendall French. Koebke belongs to a country club in San Diego that allows family memberships. Unfortunately, the club denies that Koebke and French, who have been together for a decade, constitute a family. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander, on the other hand, could have zipped on down during the 3 days they were married this January, and had no problem. Anyway, Koebke and French have sued–how are you supposed to have a family when your state doesn’t legally allow you to create their narrow definition of one?
