Lambda Legal, Fair Wisconsin Submit Briefs in Defense of Wisconsin Domestic Partner Law

Gay rights groups have urged the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reject a challenge to the state's gay-inclusive domestic partnership registry, Wisconsin Radio Network reported. The group Wisconsin Family Action (WFA) and the Christian-based Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) have asked the state Supreme Court to strike down the law, arguing that it is prohibited by the state's constitutional ban on gay marriage approved by voters in 2006. WFA supported the passage of the anti-gay marriage amendment as the Family Research Institute. Despite being challenged, the law that gives gay and lesbian couples access to 43 rights, most of which center around estate planning and hospital visitation issues, took effect last month.
