LGB can go to school & finish, & find stable jobs after. wa lang nako apila ang transgenders coz usually, they need to earn cash before they transform (di nalng nako i-elaborate). I believe that the best insurance policy is when you are the Principal holder not the beneficiary. If both are working, i don't see the need to become the dependent. If (God forgid) something happens to either one of them, why not consider a "Last Will & Testament" in the first place. that covers it all right? Being a responsible person, di na jud ta dapat magpabigat sa atong partners(Gay or not) or parents. even ako asawa, i can't & Won't stop her from working because i know that she worked so hard to finish her studies (i leave it up to her, i advice but not demand). so why would i want her to just sit at home & wait for me? Plus it is not healthy for our relationship, labi na sa panahon karon. I don't have to be Gay to understand the need of equality. There are existing laws that we can surely make use of.
on taxation: daghan man sad ang wala naminyo but they didn't complain. i have met & knew people who are Happy "Single-Blessed" , well some of them are grumpy (we all know why?! hehehe). but wa pako kadungog nga naay ni-complain about taxes, they are just used to it i guess. One thing is for sure, sa akong mga kaila, they were responsible people. They didn't wasted their lives thinking & complaining on what could've happened if they have tax breaks , instead they just work & found ways to improve their lives without complaining about it(& their direct family). Life sucks, but we just have to live it.
Adoption: wa pasad ko kabalo unsa ang ako baroganan ani. i hate to say this, but it will become confusing para sa bata kung kinsa ang amahan og inahan sa pamilya ana. doesn't it? ma subject to bullying na hinoon ang bata ana.
Amo silingan (an Old Gay in his 60's) takes great care of his apo, better than the parents pa gani. so para nako di ko kaingon nga dili maayo nga Gay ang parents kay wa man nay basis. but unsaon man na nato nga ang society(wa koy labot ani nila ha) nato kay di paman ka accept nga Gay parents. Kung Law ang storyahan, wa pasad ko kabalo kung naa bay specific law on adoption that prohibits gay couple to adopt a child. OR a law that prohibits you to take care of your niece & nephews.
