FATE OF TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE BENEFITS A CONCERN: From the Washington Post

Jerry Threet, who works for San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano, said he was extremely let down. The insurance rates on the house he owns with his partner, Seth Ubogy, had gone down several hundred dollars a year, he said, "and a lot of little things, like our AAA membership, got less expensive." Threet said he went on a trip in May to visit Ubogy's family in Texas, and there was no question about a charge for an extra driver on the rental car.

But, like Alfano, Threet said the biggest practical impact for him was acceptance. Threet said he and Ubogy are planning to adopt a child in a year or two.

"My family has never treated Seth like my life partner," he said. "Six years ago, my father wouldn't meet Seth. After we got married, that all changed. It made a big difference to them. That's more important than all those little things."
