Nevada Same-Sex Domestic Partnership Bill Advances

nevada_gay_marriage.jpeg A state senate bill that would allow gay couples to enter into a domestic partnership is making its way through the Nevada legislature. After passing through the Senate, the state's Assembly followed suit, but only after some amendments, last Friday. It now goes back to the Senate for approval, but even if passed, Gov. Jim Gibbons has already said he would use his vetoing power. Meanwhile, back in California, the state Supreme Court still deliberates over Prop 8 as the decision deadline approaches. Rulings are are only announced on Thursdays and Mondays with a advance notice the day preceding. Last Friday, an erroneous rumor began on Twitter saying a decision had been made.

Nevada. FUCKING NEVADA people.


This hurts my heart and my vote.

Um, it's a domestic partnership law. California already has one of those.

Of course you're right, msmery... What I was referring to, more than anything, is that even Nevada is moving forward on some level. Baby steps. Whereas California is just deadlocked, especially right now in the Supreme Court.


why is it taking FOREVER for the CA supreme court to tell us the prop 8 decision? just tell us the news, (which i am assuming is bad), and let us move forward already.

we've been down and out for too long, this decision can't break us down. i am trying to stay hopeful that CA will recognize same sex marriage in the future. yay for nevada. boo for CA. :(
