subconsciously Last night, our monthly VQ Chat returned with a great discussion on marriage. We even got to see some wedding photos! Below you’ll find the questions and a few of the answers:
Q1: Is same-sex marriage legal in your state?
disulfiram implant to buy We had people from Minnesota, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Washington. We even had people from Canada and New Zealand. It was remarkable that Ohio was the only state without equality:

Q3: Has being married or getting married changed your relationship?
I used to worry that my brother-in-law would sue for partner’s estate if anything happened to her. #vqchat — Shannon LC Cate (@lilysea) October 29, 2014
@uppoppedafox #vqchat being parents changed our relationship significantly, not marriage — MyTwiceBakedPotato (@MyTBP) October 29, 2014
Q4: What about your relationship with family and friends?
A4: not at all. Except people refer to her as my wife and it always gives me little butterflies. Yeah. I said it. #vqchat — Kaitlin (@_kaitlin_s) October 29, 2014
A4: I do think people see our relationship differently. For one thing, everyone calls Luisa my “wife” now which makes me laugh. #vqchat — Vikki Reich (@uppoppedafox) October 29, 2014
Q5: Did you get married before you had kids? If so, was that a conscious decision? Did it matter to you?
A5 yes, but we did it because we were ready to be married, but not ready for kids… & got to make that choice #marriageequality#vqchat

@uppoppedafox Yes. Because it would solidify next of kin etc, though partner/parental status recognised in NZ regardless #vqchat
