I am not raising the moral or political issues of gay marriage, please don't address that arena. BUT the fact is we have people who have family members who are gay. AND the fact is that some jurisditions make it legal for gays to marry. Currently PAF 5.2.18 forces a spouse to be of the opposite gender. There is no way to force it to be both men or both women. Are there any plans to allow for these relationships in a future edition of PAF ? For those using PAF, who might have had this situation, how do you record it? Perhaps just in the notes? And then, what if they both adopt a child? Alan

Doubt it -- the nice man demo'ing the new concept in PAF blenched and nearly had apoplexy when I asked a question he misinterpreted as concerning gay marriage. > For those using PAF, who might have had this situation, > how do you record it? Perhaps just in the notes? Without wishing to be indelicate ... the psychological attributes of two married gays tend to more or less match those of two married heteros. Label the names to match the attributes -- IOW, _lie_ to the computer. (g) It's not particularly sensitive to the needs of the couple, but it does work. > > And then, what if they both adopt a child? If you've lied, this is a non-issue? Sorry, but it's about the best you can do using PAF. If you've moral objections to lying to your computer, you'll probably have to change programs. Cheryl
