“Gay Marriage” More Binding Than A Catholic Wedding?
Laws make divorce more difficult
Gay Marriage: More Binding Than a Catholic Wedding, is an All the Way IN radio program hosted by Deborah E. Lake. The program will air live on Monday, March 5th at 6:30pm EST. Guest Mariette Geldenhuys, Attorney at Law will address the fact that same gender couples who no longer wish to be together often live in a commitment limbo because of the inconsistency in state laws.“Because there is no uniform approach to recognizing same gender committed relationships in America, lesbian and gay couples need to be especially informed before entering into a civil union or marriage,” said Lake.
This will be Geldenhuys' second interview on All the Way IN radio. During her first interview, she outlined the chaotic legal state of same gender committed couples. “It saddens me that we have to think this way, but this is really important,” said Geldenhuys. “It is much wiser to think it through carefully.” Gay marriage is recognized legally in different ways and only in a small number of states. Add to this, the lack of clear leadership at the federal level, and same gender couples who want to build a life together face an unpredictable future. This means that same gender couples need to think about how they would proceed if the unthinkable happens—they no longer want to remain a couple—at a time when they should be celebrating with family and friends. Listeners can hear the program live, and call in with questions or comments at (347) 857-3286.
