“There are numbers of different types of partnerships or pairings that may exist in society that aren't same-gender sexual relationships that provide for some right that we have no objection to.

Adoption is one that comes to mind, simply because that is a right which has been historically, doctrinally associated so closely with marriage and family.” MindMayHas BeensSaidDifferentWould BeNumbersRightsTypeConcernedGenderGrantedOccasionsPartnershipAdoptionObjectionsMarriage And Family Author:Lance B.
