Marriage Vs. Domestic Partnership in California
Domestic partnerships offer many protections for couples and families, and while theyare a big step forward, they don’t provide the same security as marriage. California
still shuts out some people from marriage, creating a two-tiered system at odds with
the principle that separate is not equal. Two people doing the work of marriage
deserve the respect and support that only come with marriage.
