Californa Domestic Partnership
While not going as far as the Massachuesetts legal equality of marriage regardless of the gender of the participants, the law going into affect today in California was an important step toward protecting the civil rights of homosexuals. The law is being challenged as a violation to the "intent"of the states Proposition 22 which bans gay marriage. This domestic partnership law does not confer tax benefits but does convey most other rights.
