In Ohio, technically, my parent's can trump his power of attorney because they are "real family". There are cases of this already. That's partly not because of homosexuality but that family is stronger than power of attorney. Of course Ohio does not recognize homosexual relationships so this cases loses even easier in court.

I suppose so, I don't think it means that things will be going downhill, I think if you give it a couple more years you'll have equal rights. The world is going towards that kind of policy anyway (the Western world I mean). Hopefully these decisions can be reversed, but these kinds of changes in attitudes take a long time as you know.
In mean time you should seriously think about emigrating to germany or somewhere equally as lovely.
Homosexuals were considered worse than suspect back in the CIAs early days. It passed as most things do.
It's impossible for me to be gay in light of all the delicious women in the world with ankles and legs and hips and abdomens and lower backs and shoulders and necks and clavicles and boobs and chins and ears and fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap

technically speaking it's against the law to have oral sex. or wear high heels in public. there are many laws out there that are ridiculous, and yet they don't stop people from living. and from enjoying living.
i quite understand that it's not fair and the words are unjust. but i don't think i would want to waste all my energy and passion on trying to change the words. i'd be more interested in having the determination to live my passion and change the eyes of the hands holding the pen. let your love, your life, yourself, speak volumes. it will come and embrace in its own (over)due time. and it will be sweet. but don't let these laws actually exist in your life.
dave, you are too kind and too smart and too passionate to allow this to absorb your energy. i'm not saying don't do anything...but do what you can with hope and patience and don't allow this monster to consume you.

That sucks dave, I don't get the whole big deal with marraige, but maybe that's because if I wanted to marry then I could do. You could always come live in Europe and tie the knot, we'd love to have you join us
*hugs*
oh right because we allow gay marriage now?

not marriage.
europe isn't keen on gay marriage either. very few places allow or entertain the idea of allowing it.

Keep in mind people just this week are getting arrested and/or fired for being a homosexual or exercising a homosexual relationship (not even in a sexual context). These laws of high heels are never enforced, making them look superfluous. The homosexual laws ARE getting enforced, making them real.

My anger and my concern is not just for me and my situation. Rather it is for those other people in situations where they cannot see the person they love in a hospital or they cannot claim inheritance because the family can trump power of attorney or even wills.
Yes it does, actually.
The "Civil Partnership" title for a couple joined by the local magistrates in the UK is only enforceable in the UK. No where else on the earth is that relationship recognized.
However, a marriage, using the proper term "marriage" is recognized in more than 7 countries and even multiple US states.
The title "marriage" is much more portable worldwide that civil unions, civil partnerships, domestic partnerships, or any other "separate, but equal" title.
Not same rights.

Also if we go travelling to Norway and I am in an accident, chim could visit me with a "marriage", but not with a "civil union" or "civil partnership" because that locale does not have that concept.
and i definitely see where there's a real problem when it actually takes a play into your life. it's one thing that is states "no high heels" but another when they come to arrest me for wearing them. i totally get that. and i would fight then. and be passionate about it because that's the way i am.
i hate all of it.
