Union into a Marriage?
    #19252421 - 12/09/13 08:37 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

After looking around for a while I'm as confused as I was before so I'm coming here lol.

I live in Colorado, a state that does not currently accept same sex marriages.
But we do on the other hand accept same sex unions.

So my question to you good people is this...
If my girlfriend and myself decide to get a civil union then want to get married in a few years when same sex marriage is finally legal in Colorado how exactly does that work?
I mean would we have to get rid of the union first or could we change it into a marriage?

I know we can make a trip out to a more tollerant state, but that's not the same.

Can I be the surrogate godfather? What does that even mean?

But I mean it when I say good luck, I wish I could help you but have no idea.

SARA, I'm betting that when Marriage per se is legalized, that they will simply extend and rename the Unions/Domestic Partnerships such that those in those arrangements are "Married".

The big variable that would cause this NOT to be the case is if they acknowledge the (probably EXTREMELY few) heterosexuals that may be in Unions because they didn't want to be "married" to eachother per se.

A plausible scenario would be when someone's widowed and they want to have a relationship and life with someone again, but they don't want to "remarry", making the separate but equal crap we got an irionic, but surprisingly viable, solution.

If this were the case, I'm sure there will be a mechanism to convert a Union into a Marriage.


I'm super happy for you and your girlfriend/wife-to-be :zomgzomgzomg:

Thanks a lot for the support, and ya I figure it may be something along those lines.
Although I have a feeling they would make it more complicated and difficult than that.

And of course Dest. :lol:

As time moves on, I realize more and more that you have to ask for permission for more things from the state. You don't truly own anything, nonetheless yourself so long as they can tax you on everything and keep you in the state of wanting. You don't truly own land, because it can still be taken away from you, if you don't pay taxes. That's not ownership. Point being is this: I'm losing respect for the idea of modern marriage, because it becomes nothing more than a tax exemption and an agreement with the state that puts you in a different social bracket. You have to ask permission to get married whether you're straight or gay, and they can deny you that human right. I'm not saying "don't go for it", I'm saying don't put so much weight to the issue. If you truly love each other, make a binding contract of your own with her, don't put so much stress on asking the government permission to get married. Haha I support gay marriage by the way...

It can also arbitrarily be taken for a token amount of money through imminent domain. Officials who abuse imminent domain AT ALL deserve jail time.
