Jennifer, I do get what you mean... however, for some the legality of marriage is not possible. Sure, I could bring her to Denmark and we could have a same-sex-civil-partnership (legally as a marriage but no religious blessing) which would be recognized in many countries, but certainly not here in Indonsia where we reside.
So maybe Michaela's scenario is an interesting approach. It would for sure have all the PERSONAL symbolic implications of commitment - but ofcourse it could never be completely as fulfilling as the real deal - whether it be a religious or civil marriage.
I do detest all the obstacles that are put in the way of two people wanting to make a commitment - religiously and legally. We're still far from true equal rights here. The religious and hetero fascists still rule much of morale issues and they do it effectively and vigorously. So untill they are gone for good we'll sometimes still have to pretend that we are just as normal as everybody else...
