DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP CHALLENGED
Friday, July 24th, 2009 -- 2:07 PM
A conservative group has asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to get rid of the state's new domestic partnership law.Wisconsin Family Action filed the lawsuit Thursday. They claim gay and lesbian partnerships violate the state's constitutional ban on gay marriage and civil unions.
Gov. Jim Doyle signed the law as part of the state budget last month. Starting Aug. 3, same-sex couples would be able to register with their counties to receive dozens of the same rights and legal protections as married couples.
