| Description | California's AB 205 promises to bestow upon gay and lesbian couples many of the rights afforded to opposite-sex couples under State law. Despite its intentions AB 205 has created an air of uncertainty and apprehensiveness among California's registered domestic partners. The author analyses AB 205, contrasting its proposed effect with its likely interpretation and recommending revisions and describes the implications of creating legal relationships outside of a marriage paradigm. He argues that domestic partner legislation serves to undermine the fight for marriage by allowing for a compromise position which fails to deliver on the promise of equality. |
