Fortunately for Brian and I, we chose not to leave our fate up to a simple majority of bigots and legally married on October 30th, 2008. The State Supreme Court did uphold marriages that occurred prior to the November election. This has now created a special “class” of person and a very complicated financial position for those of us who were fortunate enough to get married.

Married in the eyes of the state, but not the federal government means extremely complicated taxes, inheritance and legal standing outside of California. It also means that, for the time being, we can enjoy certain privileges, rights and status that our fellow gay couples cannot. The fight continues…

We have a new address! http://www.erikandbrian.com/2009/01/happy-new-year-we-have-a-new-address http://www.erikandbrian.com/2009/01/happy-new-year-we-have-a-new-address#comments Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:55:48 +0000 Erik http://www.erikandbrian.com/?p=161 We have a new mailing address!  Please contact one of us for details.  We got tired of paying the excessive fees at the UPS Store box I’ve had for the past 4 years.  Plus since the owner changed hands, the UPS Store owner is flakey, irresponsible and just clueless.  Definitely NOT worth the $470 / year for the box!!  So now that we’re settled into the house here, we are going to receive mail here.  Of course, if you know me, you know that I bought and installed a fortress of a mailbox to prevent people from stealing our mail (or at least making it darn difficult).  I’ll probably have packages sent to my office for my regular shipments of wine and such, otherwise, please send it here!

Happy New Year everyone!
