Married gay people in red states: start getting all your paperwork together *now.* Children’s birth certificates, title to any property you jointly own, insurance policies, and so forth.

This thread contains capsule reviews of each entry for The Between Threat-writing contest.

It will probably take me a few weeks to finish all 45 entries, so check back often.

Do not identify yourself as the author of an entry until the judging is complete.
