And at the risk of being totally off-topic - and a gay man to wit, what a wonderful Christian response, Ellen, to recording ALL your family history. So who will you omit next?
And re-iterating June’s response: God bless! I think someone in history, echoing his founder, said something about acknowledging faith, hope and charity - and the greatest……?

Legacy hears from the few who want it far more often than those of us who are grateful for it not being there.

Need something more permanent in light of today's society and the legality of gay marriage in many countries today - heck even without gay marriage being legal, we should respect and record the life-long partnerships that two people had - we do it for men and women who don't marry, we should be able to do it for same-sex relationships as well Please don't start on gay rights - I'm mearly putting my two cents forward that this feature is something that is needed for accuracy in recording people, their lives and their relationships.
