	California domestic partner law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to Geoff Kors, an advocate of the law, up until that time no other US state had a similar law without a mandate from a Court to implement such a law.
		According to published reports in the Los Angeles Times, Kors stated, "We don't take very seriously their claim that they're not moving forward for next year." Kors further suggested that the pullback by conservatives may be a ruse to stir support among conservative backers.
		Kors told the Times, "It would be very surprising that the extreme right would give up on the largest state in the nation.

		Kors added that Schwarzenegger was âunderstandably not familiar with all the ins and outsâ of Sacramento and said that the state âdoesnât shut down duringâ a transition period between the governor and governor-elect.
		Kors said that San Francisco was the first city to enact such a law in 1996.
		Kors said that since the San Francisco ordinance in 1996, there has not been a reduction in companies doing business with the city.

	California Girds For Marriage Fight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Equality California’s Geoff Kors and Matt Foreman, of the Task Force, have agreed to work cooperatively on beating back right-wing forces in 2006; the role to be played by Human Rights Campaign is still being debated.
		Kors called that estimate a “minimum.” Kors’ group and the Task Force are partnering with several other gay and non-gay civil rights organizations in a campaign committee, Equality for All, which will manage the vote drive.
		Kors, however, complained that HRC, with its fund raising, is draining away part of a precious and limited pool of donor money that could be used at a critical time to fight the initiatives.

	Boi From Troy » EQCA…Not about the gays after all (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		That may be compelling-enough reason for Geoff Kors to vote against the interests of Californians…but some of us have never agreed with the gay communitiy’s so-called allies.
		In fact, telling me that drawing districts that fairly represent their constituents would mean that EQCA would not be able to pass a marriage bill–as they say–makes me think that maybe we shouldn’t be passing a marriage bill at this time.
		However, for some reason, Geoff Kors seems to be convinced that we need to support all of these in order to keep our so-called “allies”, whose support of gay rights seems to vary depending on how well we do what they tell us to do.

		Kors pooh-poohed the Governor’s emphasis on promoting that noble quality, saying, “Our community doesn’t want to be tolerated.
		Noting the anti-Republican nature of Geoff’s group, I observed that he clearly does not speak for me, thus, by “our community,” he could not possibly mean all gay people.
		Odd, I had been led to believe that equal protection under the law was an artifact of the 14th amendment, and, as applied to the federal government, the due process clause of the 5th amendment.

		He said Wednesday's court order was "a major victory for the lesbian and gay community" and would affect tens of thousands of couples and their children.

		The meeting was called at the behest of Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality California, who told IN that EQCA meets regularly with Schwarzenegger's staff because they are in the same building.
		Kors also will ask that the governor "come out immediately against the anti-gay initiatives [which would wipe out existing domestic partnership benefits] we are likely to face next year and encourage people not to sign the petitions.
		We want to send a very powerful message to the governor; if he says he is not with us and refuses to take a leadership role, we're going to work hard to say no to his initiatives and his re-election."

		This bill, when it becomes law, will provide our families with financial stability if a partner dies without a will," said Geoffrey Kors, CAPE Board Member and Chair of CAPE's Public Policy Committee.
		"Allowing a surviving registered partner to inherit a portion of his or her partner's estate encourages responsibility and mutual support between two committed adults, protects the economic interests of the surviving partner and their children, and clarifies the distribution of the estate," added Kors.
		The 41 Assemblymembers who cast their "aye" votes for the bill were all Democrats.
