Melbourne to get partnership register
The City of Melbourne plans to create a partnership register for same-sex couples.
Deputy lord mayor Gary Singer, who is openly gay, said the register would be largely symbolic but would help gay and lesbian couples show proof they were in a relationship
“This register will provide evidence of a relationship,” Singer said, The Age reported.
“It doesn’t have the legal status of marriage but it does provide some evidentiary basis in court for gay and lesbian couples.”
The move was endorsed by Melb
