Musician, writer, artist, gardener, Jane-of-all-trades. I keep astonishingly busy with a wide variety of things. Recently into visible mending. Still fixated on Mass Effect. Wrote A Star to Steer Her By, writing Sunset and Evening Star (Yes, still going, just slow!).
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Housemate Xed works for the Secretary of State, in the bit that registers businesses and, for a few years and for somewhat convoluted political reasons, domestic partnerships.
Yesterday their office received the… complaints? Of a somewhat distraught pair of people (notice I do not say ‘couple’) who, at some point in the last few years, had decided to go into business together – a nail salon or something, I think – and been advised that they should form a Partnership. Pretty standard for a small business with two owners.
…except they didn’t understand and formed a Domestic Partnership instead.
Washington State legalized same-sex marriage in 2012, and as part of that, this June ALL non-senior domestic partnerships became marriages automatically.
These two business partners accidentally married each other.
And now they’re trying to figure out how to undo it.
…short of divorce.
