Hello LGBTQA Network,

If you, or anyone you know, rely on domestic partner coverage through the state, Lambda Legal needs to hear from you. Please see the email below from lead attorney Tara Borelli.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Friends,

Since 2009, Lambda Legal and Perkins Coie have represented a group of state employees in a case challenging the State's attempt to strip lesbian and gay employees of domestic partner coverage. Thanks to the dedication of our plaintiffs, we have been able to obtain a court order maintaining the benefits while the case proceeds, but the case isn't over yet. As we prepare for the next chapter of work in the litigation, it would be helpful to hear stories from state workers who rely on domestic partner coverage to protect their families. If you're willing to share your experience with us, please contact Tara Borelli at tbor...@lambdalegal.org, or at 213-382-7600, ext. 231.

Best regards,
Tara Borelli

Is this only for same-sex domestic partner benefit coverage or opposite-sex domestic partner coverage too?

This is for same-sex domestic partner benefit coverage, because that is the nature of the case Lambda Legal has been working on.

Thank you for the clarification. I assumed it was only for same-sex, but thought I'd ask.
