Such lovely wedding presents

One of the groups working for gay marriage in Maine is passing out a card that says (with only some of the 33 items repeated here):

Congratulations on your marriage! In your honor the U.S. Government happily presents to you:
1. Access to social security after a spouse's death.
2. Access to health insurance through a spouse's workplace.
7. Burial determination after the death of a spouse.
16. Right to shared property, child support and alimony after divorce.
20. Automatic exemption of property tax increases on shared assets gained after spouse's death.
29. Automatic next of kin status for emergency medical decisions and hospital visitation status.
30. Immigration and residency priority for spouses from other countries.

The rights of same-sex couples are listed on the back of this card.

(The back of the card is blank.)

The author of the post asked for other items to include in the list. One mentioned is living overseas (as in Germany) with a spouse in the military. The rest of the responses were mostly about #7 and #29 above -- heart wrenching stories of hell they went through during the most critical or sorrowful times of their lives.
