Czech Gays Get Partner Rights
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/01/012606czech.htm

The upper chamber of Czech parliament voted on Thursday to grant some legal rights to same-sex partners.

Forty-five of the 65 lawmakers present in the 81-seat Senate voted in favor of the law, 14 were against. Six Senators abstained.

If approved also by President Vaclav Klaus, the legislation will allow couples who register their partnership with authorities to have inheritance and health care rights similar to those granted now to heterosexual married couples.

1. Imagine that: Czechs having more rights than Americans
Talk about perspective.
