Domestic Partner Equality in NYC

Yes! It's official.
On Wednesday, March 28,2007, our mayor, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, signed the domestic partnership bill into law.

"This legislation will ensure that in New York City, whatever married couples are entitled to domestic partners will be entitled to as well," said openly gay city council speaker, Christine Quinn.

"We cannot anticipate what benefits might be available down the road.

But the fact is that this legislation will ensure that the LGBT Community will not have to fight for equal rights and access everytime a new city benefit or service is available.
