Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds domestic partner registry

[LuckyTheDog]

The Wisconsin Supreme Court Thursday unanimously upheld a 2009 law providing limited benefits to gay and lesbian couples.

The law established a registry system for same-sex couples to report their domestic partnerships to county clerks and in turn receive rights such as hospital visitation, medical leave and inheritance.

The state's highest court ruled that these partnerships do not violate a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and civil unions with a legal status that is "substantially similar" to heterosexual marriage. The amendment was approved by Wisconsin voters in 2006 by 59 percent to 41 percent.

1. Not good enough.

Full marriage equality, everything else is political masturbation.

2. I agree.

But it's better than moving backward.

3. Fuck backwards.

The SCOW upheld the bullshit registry (not striking down the State constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage), Upheld the voter Id law (disenfranchising minority voters), and the anti-union horseshit in article 10.

Use this a progressive talking points. GOTV.
