That's why the Constitution is silent on the issue of marriage. It simply doesn't address it!

Did You Know: Unlike what many people think about the US Constitution, the document is set up to be understood and followed by everyone, not just the majority.

So when it comes to same-sex marriage, there aren't any protections that say "only a man and woman can get married," so allowing gay marriage isn't something new – it's just acknowledging that same-sex couples have legal rights and responsibilities to each other just like opposite-sex couples.

In fact, you've probably heard from employers or schools that don't want to provide insurance for partners because DOMA says they don't have to. But it's a myth! The law only applies to federal employees. And even if it did affect private sector employers, there are things that can be done to accommodate same-sex spouses without breaking the law.

It may not seem like an issue most people care about, but let's take a closer look at what does and does not mean when it comes to marriage equality for the US.

It's true that the majority of Americans favor gay marriage, and on June 26th of this year, over two thirds of all voters supported legalizing same-sex unions in California. But there are more than four million people in that state alone who oppose the idea. That's a lot of people!

That number is almost enough to counter the 57% of voters who voted for Prop 8, but it wasn't enough to overturn it. The other small factor was that last minute donation from the Mormon Church. That's why we should be careful about making too much out of a single victory against homosexual marriage in one state.

It was also a local result - not nationwide - so arguments that states are being forced to accept gay marriage are not accurate either.

In the past, there have been several other states where people have attempted to place bans on homosexual marriage, or at least prevent legally recognized gay marriages from occurring. But most of these measures have failed.

In fact, many of them were defeated when the public later voted for bills that allowed for homosexual unions to occur. And in some cases this was because support for gay marriage increased when it was made legal. So even if you don't live in a state like California that allows same-sex marriages (which is becoming more likely by the day), don't think that your rights are up for debate just yet.

NOTE: One thing I wanted to clarify in this article is that DOMA does not ban gay marriage. The law only applies to federal employees and employers who contract with the federal government. And even then, there are things that can be done to accommodate same-sex spouses without breaking the law.

For example: a school can't refuse to provide health benefits to partners of gay employees, or put legal pressure on a business that has hired same-sex partners. Currently, same-sex spouses aren't covered under all plans and many companies, including some small employers, still offer only traditional benefits.

I'm not a planner. I don't believe in planning. My partner and I have been together for over 20 years, have two children from a previous marriage, and own our home outright. None of that was planned; we were just lucky enough to meet at exactly the right time. So there is no need to plan when it comes to affording a home in this market. In fact, I don't believe in planning. I don't think it is ever a good idea (unless you're building a house). But now, as home prices are rising, so are payments. The only way to keep up with payments is to plan when it comes to your home budget. Here's what you need to know about planning for buying a home: Ask for help: If the household income is less than $200 percent of the area median income (AMI), the lender will suggest that you take out a loan from one of its partner lenders (The Mortgage Bankers Association partner lenders include California CMBC and Citibank).

Conclusion: While the loan application process is very detailed, some of the paperwork can be tedious. If someone in your household has a steady income, ask them to help you assemble the required documents and gather the financial statements. This way, you will have all of the necessary information ready for your lender or broker when you go in to sign a contract on your new home.
