Question 1

What is the advantage of having domestic partnerships for same sex couples?

Accepted Answer

$\bullet$The purpose of legal recognition for domestic partnerships is to provide gay couples with the same legal rights married couples enjoy: being able to inherit a partner's property, being eligible for a partner's survival benefits, or having the right to make decisions for an incapacitated partner.
$\bullet$Gays and lesbians who desire state-recognized marriage give reasons similar to those of heterosexuals: to make public statements about their commitment to each other, including the pledge to maintain a monogamous relationship.
$\bullet$Since up to 40% of employee compensation comes via employee benefits, LGBT workers miss out on these benefits. Legal domestic partnerships would allow these workers to receive benefits.
