One live-blogger described it like this:
Thompson begins making the case that because Cott supported an organization called Alternatives to Marriage, started by a [...]]]></description>

Maine is in the unique opportunity to launch the experiment of truly civil partnerships for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Washington D.C.&#8217;s governing Council is planning to recognize same-sex marriages.  Unfortunately, they also plan to stop registering domestic partnerships &#8211; that&#8217;s a terrible idea!  If you live in D.C., please help:
First, email the Council and tell them not to discontinue the domestic partnership registry.
Second, go to the one of the hearings to share this message [...]]]></description>

The court ruled that the hospital has neither an obligation to allow their patients&#8217; visitors nor any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Among the news reports filtering in during Unmarried and Single Americans Week, it is upsetting to find that the state of Arizona has rescinded the domestic partnership benefits it had just recently extended to state employees.
Although DP benefits are often wrongly described as a &#8220;gay rights&#8221; issue, the article points out that more than 3/4 [...]]]></description>
