Seems that every time someone brings up Prop 8, the argument is made that Gay couples have, "domestic partnerships" so the ideal of marriage is just a title. Is it possible for you to refer me to a website that I can pass on to educate people as to what the exact difference is between marriage and domestic partnerships?
TIA

Sorry to BIP, but this article came immediately into mind:
"The Marrying Kind", California Lawyer, October 2008
A highlight from the article: "Some might say, "So what? You can still be domestic partners." That's true, but it is not the same as being married. Our domestic partnership is not valid outside California, and it includes no federal protections. For example, if one of us were to become disabled out of state, the other would not have the right to make medical decisions on his behalf. In addition, a myriad of family laws and court cases provide certainty and dependability for married couples regarding taxes, benefits, child support, and other matters. But for domestic partners, most of these are subject to either interpretation or, worse, the whims of bureaucrats and politicians."
I've gotten information from this website:
