Marriage and Domestic Partnership

The debate and struggle to achieve equal marriage rights by gays and lesbians, from the legal and legislative perspective.

Submissions to this category should be legal debates, information, and resources dealing with gay and lesbian marriage, civil union, or domestic partnership. The vast majority of civil rights desired by gays and lesbians can be achieved with the right to marry, and as such, it touches almost every category within Society: Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual. Websites that do not deal with representing or changing existing law may not belong in this category. Websites for LGBT people planning to marry are located in Society: Gay,_Lesbian,_and_Bisexual: Family_and_Relationships: Marriage. When marriage itself is not a legal option, ceremonial services can be located in Society: Gay,_Lesbian,_and_Bisexual: Family_and_Relationships: Commitment_Ceremonies. Websites that do not debate gay marriage from a legal perspective, or debate homosexuality in general, may find better placement in one of the following categories, depending on the content: Society: Religion_and_Spirituality: Christianity: Perspectives: Sexuality: Homosexuality Society: Issues: Gay,_Lesbian,_and_Bisexual: Opposing_Views Society: Religion_and_Spirituality: Christianity: Bible/Bible_Study: By_Topic: Homosexuality
