Gays call for the right to form legally recognised unions.
The right to choose a marriage partner not a citizen of your country, and have it almost automatic they be allowed to live in your country with you. The right to visit your partner in hospital, even if the partner's blood family does not like you. Income tax deductions for couples. Pension benefits and other spousal benefits such as company medical and dental plans. The right to custody of children by a previous heterosexual marriage.
