Comments on: New Cohabitation Law in Greece http://deviousdiva.com/2008/03/04/new-cohabitation-law-in-greece/ The only thing necessary for the persistence of evil is for enough good people to do nothing.

They may not know that "partner" is the standard term for same-sex individuals in relationships. Once they learn what "partner" means, maybe they will have to legally define "Partner" as a union ONLY between a man and a woman. Remember what happened with the word "Marriage" in the USA. At least in Greece, even thinking of same sex marriages is probably about 100 years away. For now, they will have to deal with the word "partner" which is more in tune with the 1950s attitude of Greece today. Too funny indeed...
