A vague reference to laws (that may well be from Djibouti) will not stand as case here. Until I see something to the contrary, California Family Code section 297.5 carries my claim: "Registered domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits [snip] as are granted to and imposed upon spouses." What law is not going to be viewed by someone as limiting the rights of the minority? If you have evidence of it truly being a rights case, please submit it.
