Gay Marriage and Earthquakes

I received my "New California Earthquake Policy" a few days ago and actually took the time to read it. I know I'm crazy. But as I was reading the document, it hit home to me just how important marriage is in the event of an earthquake. Term definitions are listed on page one of my "Summary of Changes." Specifically, "Domestic Partnership. Under your new CEA policy, a domestic partner is not defined as an insured."

This is huge. If people think that a domestic partnership conveys all the rights of marriage, think again. So I guess if I'm in a domestic partnership and we own a house together, both of us would have to have our own earthquake insurance to protect us from the big one, or even a smaller one.

On page six of my policy, it says "Insured means you and the following persons if they are permanent residents of your household:
a. your relatives, whether related by blood, marriage or adoption; and b. anyone under the age of 21 who is in the care or custody of you or of any of your relatives who are permanent residents of your household.

I guess if I were in a relationship with someone under 21, then I'd be good. Of course that breaks my five year rule when it comes to relationships as I'm a bit over 30 (quite a bit).

As I'm writing this, Public Enemy is on the radio doing that kick ass song "Fight the Power" from Fear of a Black Planet. I'm waiting for some gay rappers to do a redux called Fear of a Gay Planet.
