Yes, and these rulings are also not stopping Utah and Indiana from discriminating against lesbian couples who wish to be recognized as parents on birth certificates without having to get a court order. In both states, if a heterosexual woman gives birth to a child after using donor sperm to be impregnated, the resulting child's birth certificate lists his or parents as that woman and her legally married husband. However, in both Indiana and Utah, if a lesbian is impregnated using donor sperm, her wife cannot legally be listed as the resulting child's other parent without a court order. 2 Federal Cases in the pipeline, because folks just won't give us our rights.

In re: Justice Kennedy's "millenia," I really want someone to send him a copy of John Boswell's 1994 book, "Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe." Boswell clearly details unions in prior "millenia" where the church provided some blessing to same-sex unions, whether they actually called them marriage or not.

I have to say that Nevada is incorrectly listed in Building Equality; we do have anti-bullying AND gender identity protection laws.
