A Declaration of Domestic Partnership generally includes the same or greater requirements (at least in terms of financial matters) as marriage. To lie on the form would be illegal.
But hey, if you want to avoid the possibility of gays getting benefits unmarried, there's a simple solution: allow gay marriage.
Obama now giving homosexual partners of U.S. military personnel MORE benefits than the spouses of heterosexuals in the military. Should recruiter motto be changed from "Uncle Sam wants you" to "It PAYS to be gay?"

for being what's moral, upright, and good. Especially military people.
Where do you dig up all this
working on getting the next democrat elected.
The real story is easy to find with your nifty computer.

partners this will be a non-issue.
All I see is equal rights for everyone. If this is the only way to get earned
benefits to loved ones, than it's righteous.
Typical of you people to not want to extend benefits to the great Americans
that give their lives for our freedom. You'd rather try and force your
theocratical archaic ideas on a what appears to be a free country.
Peace to all
But, let's say for a moment it is about sexual orientation, and gays could get married.
Then just like every other married soldier, as a couple without kids they would look for their own housing off base. If as a person who could find someone of their sex attractive, then if they went into the head with a member of their own sex, they could face the same sexual harassment charges as a male soldier that went into the female head. If they are married then they would face the same rules governing conduct as any other spouse, and be removed from base if they are disruptive of the soldiers mission or deployment status. This means that if they are having anal sex and the soldier prolapses, then they soldier is out of the military for willful destruction of military property.
things like DOMA.
If you want live in a theocracy move to the middle east.
We moved past blacks being able to marry white. It's just a matter
of time before we move past this current ignorance, with regards
to same sex marriage.
That's the best I can muster up at the moment since I don't agree with homosexuality.
I don't mean to say the people themselves should be treated any differently. I just don't agree with their sexual life.
And I don't find the act settling. I really struggle with this because my sister is gay.
She is highly educated. Very kind and smart. Great six figure job. Travels. Loved by everybody. Yet I can't get past that one aspect of her life. I love her so much. I have worried the world would be cruel to her. I don't know what to do. I clearly see gay people are valuable, loving, contributor's to humanity. I just feel repelled about this area of their lives. I also understand that sin is sin. And everybody is committing a healthy dose of it everyday. So I don't delude myself into thinking I'm in any better shape with God.
I won't parade in the street for gay rights but I won't block them either.
People who's religion requires marriage can have a marriage ceremony performed by their minister afterward. But to be recognized as a partnership in the legal sense you will need a legal contract of unity. Having taken religion out of the equation all types of couples qualify for a legal contract of unity and partnership.
It's like separating church and state.
