And now we can get some help getting a roof over our heads.  Israel recently began recognizing same-gender marriages from out of the state and recognizes common law couples, so now they’re putting their money where their laws are and treating common law couples (including same-gender couples) as equals… yay!

Common-law couples, including gays, to get housing assistance - Haaretz - Israel News:

“The Housing and Construction Ministry recently decided to provide housing and mortgage assistance to common-law couples - including those of the same sex - thereby removing one of the major obstacles to equality for alternative families.

The decision, which was made two months ago, changes the ministry’s policy of granting such benefits only to married couples and common-law couples with at least one joint child.”
