The Advance of Same-Sex Rights in New Mexico

A bill requiring domestic partners to be treated the same as spouses narrowly won approval in New Mexico last week.  In a 33-31 margin, the New Mexico House of Representatives passed the Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities Act, which grants registered domestic partners the same rights, benefits, duties and responsibilities that state law gives to married couples. 

This bill, which allows for legal recognition of same-sex relationships identical to marriage, would have a significant impact on religious liberty and society in general.  Additionally, both Washington and New York are considering similar legislation.

Despite the passage of Proposition 8 in California, homosexual advocates are pushing their agenda across the Country.  And, with the liberal agenda of our President, it is likely that this battle will rage on many different fronts in the coming years.
