The local case of the Diane Whipple, a woman killed by a viscious dog, comes to mind. Sharon Stone, her partner, was restricted from certain rights enjoyed by officially recognized spouses, such as the right to sue the owners of the dog that killed her for wrongful death.

Other cases involve partners of the victims of the WTC. Until gay partners are afforded the same rights as heterosexual partners, the Constitution is being violated.
