To those of you who have kids the traditional way, enjoy your heterosexual privilege. Enjoy knowing that because you are married, your spouse has full custody of your child should anything happen to you. Enjoy knowing that you don’t have to go to great legal expense to make sure that the child you call your own will not be taken away from you because the voters in the state you live in decided that marriage should only be between a man and woman.
And to those of you heterosexuals who have adopted. Enjoy knowing that because you are married, your spouse has full custody of your child should anything happen to you. Enjoy knowing that you don’t have to go to great legal expense to make sure that the child you call your own will not be taken away from you because the voters in the state you live in decided that marriage should only be between a man and woman.
Enjoy.
I recall children being taken away from married couple in the novel The Handmaid's Tale, because they were not from an original marriage.
