Gay Marriage LLC Limited Liability Company

A limited liability company is a new business entity based on partnership law. However, unlike a partnership, the members of a limited liability company are not liable for the debts of the LLC (nor to other members of the LLC).

Gay Marriage LLC Lisa Dettmer Documentary

Lisa Dettmer's Beyond Gay Marriage Radio Documentary

"It is 40 years since the Stonewall rebellion that generated the birth of the gay liberation movement but today's mainstream gay movement is a far different movement than the radical politics of the 1960's. While many have assumed that gay marriage is important to most Queers this documentary will challenge that myth and will show how the emphasis on gay marriage is part of the loss of a radical Queer critique that was once part of LGBT politics. Lisa Dettmer produced this documentary, which discusses the current LGBT political landscape and what kind of political work radical Queers are dong today." KPFA

Marriage Rights and Benefits

When you see these websites listing all of the super duper benefits of being married, you have to assume that people like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt must be pretty darn stupid not to take advantage of those super duper benefits. And,

If the simple act of getting married gives a Married Couple an instant Estate Planning System, what are all of those Asset Management and Estate Planning people doing for a living when all people have to do is get married?

Well, there is one Big Benefit of Marriage that these websites all seem to have forgotten to mention. When you get married, you gain the benefit of losing almost half of your net worth to someone you're no longer having sex with.

With a Limited Liability Company, only the assets you have in the LLC can be lost. A creditor (or another member of the LLC) cannot attach your personal assets.

Marriage using Limited Liability Company Law

Marriage is essentially like any other partnership arrangement but with one major, very important difference. SEX is part of the marriage contract. You are "contracting for sexual services" when you accept the State's default marriage terms. The fact that Sex is part of the marriage contract is the main reason why the State is "concerned" about who it permits to marry.

Since States are more or less sanctioning a contract for sexual services between two people, States of the United States have traditionally attempted to regulate what kind of sexual activities are permissible in a marriage. Today, a lot of these old laws regulating the sexual activities of married couples are no longer enforced. However, a few of these laws are still on the books in some States.

If you eliminate SEX and THE STATE from the marriage contracting process, you are essentially left with a Partnership, a partnership like any other partnership.

If you think you can handle sex with the person(s) you choose to have sex with without The State's guidance, you just may be READY to EVOLVE from "contracting for sex" (i.e., marriage) to a more progressive partnership arrangement with the people you want to share your life with using Limited Liability Company (LLC) law.

A limited Liability Company is like a partnership except that the members of a Limited Liability Company are not liable for the debts of the other members of the LLC and, the members of the LLC are not liable for the debts of the LLC itself.

The idea of using LLC law to marry (instead of States' outdated marriage laws) was originated by Relationship, L.L.C. See http://www.relationshipllc.com.

This blog will serve as a "one stop site" for information relating to the Relationship LLC (tm) concept, i.e., people using LLC law to partner rather than marriage law. Any number of people may partner to form a Relationship LLC and, the members of the LLC can decide for themselves what assets they wish to "share" (or have "in common" with the other members of the LLC).

Relationship LLC (tm) is claimed as a trademark by Relationship, L.L.C.
