Dave Rausch, (im Menard and team captain Henry de Ment — said awareness of each member's strong subjects helped them the most. "Our game strategy was to let the one who knew the most about each subject answer each question." Fontana said. Presentation focuses on legal aspects of family issues for gays and lesbians By Kirsten Bolin Of I hr Knutrild Although artificial insemination, paren ting and adoption are pertinent issues to gays and lesbians, these practices are often viewed as departures from general legal procedure, said Gretchen Miller, a University law pro fessor and Eugene attorney. The legal issues surrounding gay and les bian families are often ignored by state laws and statutes because this legislation was created only for people in traditional nuclear families. Miller told about .ft) people Saturday during a presentation of legal issues that con front gay couples and families. ■‘The first responsibility is being aware of what the law provides." Miller said. “But we're not just stuck with what the legislation says — we can use our own tools." Lesbian couples can encounter legal dif ficulties when a child is conceived by artificial insemination from a known donor, she said. Problems arise when the father wants some parental rights to the child, but the mother wants these rights exclusively. Miller said. Even if a verbal contract giving exclusive rights to the mother was agreed upon beforehand, the courts will probably rule in the father’s favor if he changes his mind and wants to play some role in the child’s life, she said. With gay or lesbian couples who have children, the non-biological partner has no in* herent rights to the child if the couple breaks up. even if a lot of time, money and energy has been invested. Miller said. In these relationships, the non-biological partner is advised to enter into a legal agree ment with the biological parent that would give him or her some rights to the child in the event of a breakup. Regarding adoption, gays and lesbians have the legal right to adopt children, despite public uncertainty about the issue. Miller said, in Oregon, the law gives any adult the right to petition to adopt another person and take on those responsibilities. Miller's presentation was sponsored by the l.esbian/(’>ay I,aw Students Association. Cash For Textbooks Mon. - Fri.
