A bill to legalize this got stuck so the gays sued ha and won
Quote:
In its ruling on Tuesday, the country's highest legal authority said that such a ban is discriminatory because individual gays and lesbians who don't live in the official partnership were allowed to do so.
However, the ruling still does not allow lesbian and gay pairs to adopt children as a couple.
In 2006, Parliament approved a law allowing same-sex partners to live in an officially registered partnership and have rights to inheritance and health care similar to those enjoyed by heterosexual married couples.
UPDATE: Following Tuesday's ruling, Czech human rights minister Jiri Dienstbier vowed to table an amendment to the civil partnerships law allowing adoptions by same-sex couples as well as the adoption of a partner's offspring.
