let's do this

so, tonight i am going to be part of a workshop that was scheduled by Equality Maryland. i'm supposed to be there to help answer questions about two new pieces of legislation that passed and went into effect on July 1, 2008. One has to do with a transfer recordation tax exemption for domestic partners and the other is health care visitation rights for domestic partners. i've spent the last week familiarizing myself with the legislation and the affidavits that have to be signed by folks wanting to take advantage of their new rights. it's all pretty interesting!

i'm nervous, but excited. i'm just hoping that it all goes well!
