If not Marriage (a legal contract), then use of another very easily obtained legal contract- Power of Attorney (completed ahead of time) can be a simple protection in such terrible situations. <br /><br />And should not be necessary.Magnumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782896110475130579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12203828.post-91462413612530045162013-08-17T01:46:37.698-04:002013-08-17T01:46:37.698-04:00Holy shit.

In spite of the many exceptional people I met I always felt a presence of darkness and evil hovering over the place. I didn't like going there. Was always on alert while there and eagerly anticipated being back in Florida where I at least knew and recognized the enemy. That evil is manifested in stories like this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12203828.post-22148069026701872022013-08-16T18:31:24.245-04:002013-08-16T18:31:24.245-04:00What a stinking tragedy.

It's between a young man, born a girl, whose dad broke every bone in his body, trying to make him behave like a girl. Only he knew inside he was a boy, and he was left alone to figure it all out. He worked. He saved his money. He had his surgery and his prescription for hormones. And then he walked into my house, gracing it with a presence I badly needed then, two summers ago. And there was a girl who came around, also needing refuge, though her father loved and supported her. I don't know if she is gay or bi, and I don't much care. They fell in love, spending long nights talking in my spare room of my now-gone house. And now they are going to be married. I was honored to be invited, and not going is not an option for me. I'll be there in the back of the room somewhere, listening to them exchange vows and praying that even though this doesn't change that it's too late for Nadia, maybe, just maybe, our young people will take to the streets, gain political clout, and throw the likes of the people in Texas who could dare to do this to your friends right under the bus where they belong.Nannygoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966535097136876309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12203828.post-28287764189183215932013-08-16T16:04:04.071-04:002013-08-16T16:04:04.071-04:00Well there you have it.
