Same here, Chloe. I used to want to be a lawer, heh. I'm curious, though; maybe I'll look it up. I just feel like everything is going to be fairly ambiguous and open to interpretation.... almost intentionally difficult to understand.
I think the issue is that there are differences in the benefits afforded.
Mesmerized, you may be totally right for all I know. It's confusing.
I shouldn't be greedy after seeing two concerts, but I'm feeling sad that Adam won't be around for all the various benefits coming up. I see Raul and Daphne are in one, for instance.
What I've read about the NJ decision is that if it's a civil union, it's the same thing as a marriage in every way except name. It's about semantics. Calling it "marriage" is too scary for the conservatives, but the Supreme Court decision in NJ demands that they get all the rights and benefits of a marriage. That's why they made this decision in the first place- because the domestic partnerships they had previously created were unacceptable.

Doubtless Adam would be quite taken with the ruffles and wear them at his next concert. And at the concert after that he'd add our cynical comments to his intro for Book of Endings.
Good one, Ariella. I can't see even Adam being taken with the ruffles though. However, some of the shirts he's been wearing lately wouldn't look out of place at a Latin show.
I think we've got one of the seasons on DVD. I watch it when I'm in need of serious therapy. That's hilarious, Skittles. I'm totally picturing Raul doing that now.
