Same-Sex Couples Prepare for Registry
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio - Doug Braun and his partner of 14 years couldn't wait for Monday morning, the first day they could go to City Hall to place their names in a registry recognizing them as domestic partners.
They will walk away with a notarized piece of paper that legally means nothing, but to Braun, 42, and his partner, Brian DeWitt, 48, it will be the most important day of their lives.
"It's not a marriage," Braun said. "For us, it's a show of our commitment to each other, it's something concrete that we can hold on to and show all of the thousands of hours we put in to work on this."
