Scanning the various ballot measures listed by CNN, it turns out that Arkansas has a ballot initiative to prevent adoptions or fostering by unmarried couples - straight or gay. Glad to know they consider me an evil sinner too!

While writing this, I find myself disliking the idea of individualized contracts for multiple reasons. For example some of us may be unwilling or unable to hire a lawyer to draw up an indivdualized contract - doing away with a standard contract but allowing individualized ones means that low-income people will be entirely unable to get any of the benefits of marriage, and I would be very against such discrimination. I also like the idea of having some standard contract so that for most people quick decisions can be made in emergency situations, for example a hospital knowing who can make medical decisions for a patient if s/he is brought in already unconscious.
