'No Reason to Discriminate Against Gay Partnerships'
Edited on Wed Aug-18-10 07:46 AM by MissHoneychurch
Germany's highest court has ruled that gay couples in civil partnerships are entitled to the same inheritance tax rights as married couples. Most of the German press welcomes the ruling, with many editorials arguing that the next step is full income tax equality.

Germany is gradually working toward giving gay couples equal rights in many areas. On Tuesday, it took a further step, when its top court ruled that same-sex couples in civil partnerships are entitled to the same inheritance tax rights as married couples.

One step further in equal rights for gay people. I am proud to be German with news like that.

The good old US is still in the dark ages.
