Are there lawyers who specialize in providing gay couples with the best
financial and legal protection possible given the lack of legally
sanctioned gay marriage?  If such legal services don't exist, why not?
It seems like the perfect sort of thing for the gay community to
mobilize behind, and one where a lot of real headway could be made.
Gays are not exactly in the same sort of boat as other victims of
discrimination have been -- there are, after all, lots of gay lawyers.
