”
Equality cannot be measured in degrees. When our partners are unemployed, we are expected to support them. When they are sick or dying we are expected to pay for their treatment. In fact when it comes to all things financial, the Government expects same-sex couples to stand up and do their bit thanks to legislative changes brought in by Kevin Rudd.
I take no issue with being asked to pay my way. It is part of being in a loving relationship and part of being a model citizen.
But I will always resent the fact that while my money is good enough, my relationship is not considered worthy or formal recognition in the country I love.
