This is a great thing for the obvious reasons: these rights should be undeniable. I’m worried though this might put up some more speed bumps in the quest for same-sex marriage nation-wide.
Whenever the push for it in discussions I’ve had with conservative peers arises, equal rights to visitations and insurances in hospitals are one of the points it’s hard to argue against. Now that those are being granted without the marital title, it seems like another easily expounded argument for same-sex marriages is lost.
Obviously though that’s a minor concern to the positivity of the act 🙂
