President Bush did not ban gay marriage. However, under his administration the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) was proposed and defeated. It would have limited marriage in the United States to only be between one man and one woman.
Also, Republicans are not purely to blame for the federal government's denial of rights and privileges to homosexuals. In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which defined marriage as an act between one man and one woman. Due to this law, same-sex marriages that are now legal in many states are not recognized by the federal government. This has led to many legal battles and President Obama has instructed United States Attorneys to not defend cases that promote the Federal government's position that DOMA is constitutional. The results of these legal battles will be as monumental for our country as those cases that helped end slavery, grant equal rights to all regardless of skin color, and provide women with the right to vote.

How does your partner adopt your child with out being married?
I don't think you can. You either has to be single or married to adopt. Just living together is neither. if you are in a samesex relationship and has gone through partnership might be possible though.
Can Muslim girls have boyfriends?
Anyone can do anything they want to as long as they truly want it. No, in Islam having a boyfriend/girlfriend type of relationship is not allowed whether your a male or a female and whether the bf/gf is Muslim or not. If you have anymore questions regarding the matter, just ask and I'll be happy to answer them. i gree in islam having a boyfrnd or a grlfrnd is not allowd but today no youngr generation follows it .....so if a muslim girl personlly like a non muslim boy...then it is not allowd in islam.....u cannot marry him unless he accpts islam...:)
