 | | Gryczan, for example, always carries a power-of-attorney document with her in case her partner is unexpectedly rushed to the hospital. | | | Despite arguments from then-Attorney General Joe Mazurek that the plaintiffs couldn’t sue because prosecutors never enforced the 1973 law, District Court ruled that the statute violated the Montana Constitution’s right to privacy. | | | At the same time the beatings were publicized, the Montana Legislature, for the fifth consecutive time, was considering a bill to add gender, disability and sexual orientation to the state’s hate crimes law. |

| | The legalization and legal equality of same-gender sex, together with legal status for same-sex marriage and non-gender-specific civil unions are major goals of the gay rights movement in its attempts to protect the families of gay people. | | | In England and Wales, gay sex was legalized in 1967, for consenting males aged over 21. | | | Some jurisdictions further recognize equal rights, protections and privileges for the family structures of gay couples, including same-sex marriage. |
