Talk:1138 rights

Article Creation
I created this article as a redirect to Rights and responsibilities of marriages in the United States because I feel it is a potential search term. I had heard the statistic of "1138 rights granted by marriage" or "1138 rights denied to gays and lesbians" before, but when I searched for the term "1138 rights" I found nothing useful. Eventually, by doing a Google search on the term, I found a non-Wikipedia page linking Rights and responsibilities of marriages in the United States. This article deals exactly with the information behind the statistic I had heard, but hadn't come up in the Wikipedia search.

To justify the notability and utility of this phrase, I point out these uses of it:
 * 1,138 Reasons Marriage Is Cool&mdash;TIME
 * Did you know that marriage guarantees 1,138 rights?&mdash;Yahoo! Canada Answers (linked in previous paragraph)
 * Sea of candles lights the way for gay rights&mdash;Iowa State Daily"Michelle Garland, graduate student in curriculum and instruction, said the candles were representative of the 1,138 rights that are denied to gay couples by not allowing them to marry."
 * Also, numerous CafePress and similar sites have pages of buttons, t-shirts, and other products sporting the slogan "1138 Rights" or simply "1138," showing popular knowledge of the statistic in relation to marriage rights.
