And, as I point out in my "Kudzu and the Marriage Amendment" essay, there's something like a 1 in 500 chance that this initiative could invalidate _my_ traditional marriage -- or that of almost any randomly selected Californian. About 100,000 Californians with non-obvious developmental or genetic anomalies _are_ in that boat. They just don't (in most cases) know who they are. Am I one of them? Is Deirdre? Is Pam? We don't know. I could be a man with a transported SRY bloc, or with CAH, or with XXY, and not know it until incidental genetic typing revealed it. You could be a woman with CAIS, gonadal dysgenesis, or Swyer syndrome, and not know it -- until a judge suddenly tells you you're not married any more. In that sense, if no other, this anti-family legislation has personal relevance to you, me, and Mr. or Ms. J. Random BASFAn. _______________________________________________ Basfa mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basfa.org/listinfo.cgi/basfa-basfa.org
