#I know it doesn't sound horrific when I say we moved to spain to start a family

I'm from a country where same sex marriage isn't legal yet. It's not an extremely homophobic country, but a lot of people say stuff like "You already have civil partnership, you can put on a dress and organise a wedding, you just have to sign the civil partnership paper later at the office. What's the big deal, stop being greedy and be grateful for the options you have." And it boils my piss because people simply have no idea what these "options" even are.
Of course I agree that queer people should have the same rights as straight people, the right to a beautiful wedding, to use the same words like marriage and husband and wife. But I also think a lot of people don't understand this is not the main concern. It definitely is when you're not actually trying to get married, because then your concerns are political and social equality, and we need that.
But as a queer who's currently trying to start a family with my SO, my concerns are different. The fact that it has a different name is infuriating, but not nearly as infuriating as the fact that legally it's not the same. It's a piece of paper the government gave us to shut us up, it gives you some protections but doesn't do anything for sharing property or medical rights or children related stuff. Honestly if there was an option "It's gonna be exactly the same as a marriage but we have to call it Blippity Glup", we would be at the office signing our Blippity Glup forms right away.
this might be because I’m a family law lawyer and also an old crone who remembers when marriage equality wasn’t a thing (as in, marriage equality only became nation-wide two months before I went to law school), but I have Strong Feelings about the right to marry and all the legal benefits that come with it
like I’m all for living in sin until someone says they don’t want to get married because it’s ~too permanent~ and in the same breath start talking about having kids or buying a house with their significant other. then I turn into a 90-year-old passive-aggressive church grandma who keeps pointedly asking when the wedding is. “yes, a divorce is very sad and stressful, but so is BEING HOMELESS BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT ENTITLED TO EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF MARITAL PROPERTY, CAROLINE!”
#rant rant rant#I know it doesn't sound horrific when I say we moved to spain to start a family#cause most people think it's a lovely adventure and spain is beautiful and I'm jealous you get to live in spain#but please consider how bad it is when we crucially DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS#we have a lovely home in the czech republic and family and friends and a support network#we don't really speak the language here#I really wnat to go home

Gumball 3000 - Wikipedia
There are a lot of races like these they're all over the world and there's a bunch of cannonballs and really they're just rallies they're not races. We want to sign up and use our regular cars and sports cars and hard drivers and the drivers want to be known as the people that own it and that's fine there's a lot of them run around and say it you don't really need them to say it but so there's a lot of thinking about doing it and we're going to sign up for several of them now you have other ideas let's try and promote the other the vehicle they were getting into races and it's all amateur stuff and we win every race and I would tell them who and what it is when we leave as they get pushy. And it's about time to tell you that we're going to take control here it's terrible with the dump and another storm might be on the way for Christ's sake and yeah the only way to get it to go to the east is to push it that way and with big ships and then I'll push the skeletons out and it sounds like Tommy f and it is so we've got our cars out again and Salazar and got a safe brought them out last night in Spain and did very well and horrifically well tons of people want one and he almost got stuck a few times we have to push them out quite literally one time is it in a short like this but we know what they're doing and we do it get a good idea of what it's like and what's going to use them for. We're going to start pretty soon and he has ideas but he doesn't go through all of them and his ideas not good because the reason why you just had just thinking about marketing now you think she can wear a shirt but he'd rather have his father where a watch or ring or pin most likely you're watching things I was wondering why and it's just because sometimes the car has a watch and because his father is his father and that's who the driver is he's part of the car but really he's the driver and it's very important to him and his father sees it too it's also about the big picture and you want people who wants people to know that you are yourself driving it and it is an individual choice so he's laughing and thinks it's great and he likes to watch idea and tells people who what you're doing when you're elsewhere so we're going to go ahead with us anywhere going to phase 2 yes it's a lot of stuff happening basically is a huge War up north in two areas no it's five and it's gigantic it is all encompassing everyone's in it and The fleets the Black ships are down to like 10,000 our son and daughter's ideas working and it's theirs and it's Billy Z's going to have to pay, his own don't like him for what he's doing and tell them just move off we don't need this it's stupid and he won't so we are doing the idea and pushing them off and we try it and they move off a little and try hitting him and we fire off a whole bunch of those balls they go through and explode and the minor damage. But after a few hours that engine might fail and they'll have less and then keeping the fuel off and they're trying to get turns and you see how it works and Tommy F should learn this is what it feels like you're doing to our son for no reason except you're stupid and he's on the warpath happens and you were lighting you up and we're going to get you John Cena and you're stupid just pushing it with him you shouldn't. Now there are four out of the six ships that moved pretty good about 100 miles and they're going to push them right off the planet they have to they say and it's going on now and The fleets are sending big ships

I'm winning races and presenting the vehicle he's coming off his classy very fast and very spartan and they kind of like it. They're very tired while they do dads they don't use most of them and they're in the way and they messed the car up a little or completely and they usually take them out but that was you don't have to and it comes fast to begin with. Not making any of their cars it's very rude with the same and it'll be good time to take over the whole industry you're a bunch of jerks in it and we need to limit it so. I'll probably start sometimes within the week and we are building houses apartments and More in Southwest Florida and the storm is coming so we're going to secure what we have
