Same Sex Marriage, Domestic Partnerships And Family Law
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2012-05-24/same-sex-marriage-domestic-partnerships-and-family-law
Many of us cross jurisdictional boundaries every day, but probably don't think much about it. When it comes to family law, though, where you live can make all the difference. From marriage and divorce to adoption and inheritance, we explore the different rights in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

can you ask the panelists to comment on this: Is it a good thing for gay people to be getting into the legal institution of marriage? what does it actually get you, anyhow, as you only get the state benefits of marriage and not the federal ones (like IRS and Social Security)? what about people who's families are not based on a couple?
