‘Same-sex marriage law is long overdue’
|
|
The Lesbian and Gay Equality Project has welcomed the South African Law Commission’s discussion paper on domestic partnerships, including same-sex marriages. “Though the commission proposes different avenues for resolving the matter, it is explicitly clear in confirming that the absence of formal legal recognition of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional,” the LGEP said in a statement on Monday. “The Equality Project is, however, of the view that only one of the proposals made by the commission offers a valid solution: that same-sex couples should be admitted into the existing marriage regime.” The Equality Project supported domestic partnerships and the proposed domestic partnership law, but believed such legislation did not cover marriage as such. |

State’s marriage law puts Sims in a chokehold
It was at the end of a long day in a very long week of getting bashed for not standing up to defy state law. For not championing the rights of gays and lesbians to marry. And Ron Sims was two things he rarely ever is -- weary and disheartened. With other elected officials in Oregon, New York and California ushering same-sex partners through the marital door, the image painted by some of Sims -- who is African American -- as a cowardly barrier to equal rights was just too much to take. All week his spokeswoman, Elaine Kraft, had been explaining
Canadian Prime Minister Loses Bid to Revisit Gay Marriage Law
What a strangely slanted piece of reporting. Harper only held the vote because it was one of the election promises -- a fair vote on what is for some a controversial issue. The previous vote was unfair as all the Liberal party people were forced to tow the line. So weve got a PM in Canada who does everything he says hell do. I guess you dont have politicians like that in the USA? There really isnt much more to it than that. Why the wild headline? It tells us a lot more about Doug Struck, rather than representing the
Sebelius expects no change in marriage law
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius would not say Wednesday whether she supports or opposes gay marriage, only that she does not think a Massachusetts court's ruling on the issue will lead to a repeal of Kansas' ban anytime soon. Massachusetts' highest court on Tuesday ordered legislators in that state to replace within 180 days that state's same-sex marriage ban with a policy permitting gay couples to wed. In 1996, Kansas legislators overwhelmingly approved a bill reinforcing a long-standing policy of recognizing only unions of one man and one woman. "The Kansas Legislature has taken a pretty strong (stance) in terms of the definition
German Gay Marriage Law Marks Fifth Anniversary
It was actually just over five years ago that one of Klaus Jetz's long-sought-after goals was realized. After long debate and much lobbying from the organization he directs, the Lesbian and Gay Association of Germany (LSVD), the German parliament passed the "registered partnership" bill, which gave gay and lesbian couples new status in the eyes of the state, one that had many of the advantages of marriage. The law he had fought so hard for went into effect on Aug. 1, 2001. "Since the early 90s, the LSVD had fought for this, and back then, it all seemed so
