Fostering Care: Gay Partnership and Sexual Orientation Law
The establishment of sexual Orientation law is a human rights and family rights issue.There has been some progress when it comes to legal equality and social justice for the GLBTQ community, but it remains tenuous with so much work ahead. As we have noted in previous posts Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer equality is the civil rights issue of our day along with making sure that every American has access to affordable healthcare. We are concerned that the well-being of individuals and our nation as a whole, which is determined by our freedom to be who we are and choose who we want to be with, is being compromised. The right to be who we are is central to democracy as are the rights to privacy and earned and shared property. (Check out the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law. Hat tip for the chart to The Economist.)
