....than the right to marry? Gay rights advocates who previously fought for "marriage or nothing" are shifting strategies. Rather than fighting to legalize marriage for same-sex couples, they're lobbying for the protections marriage provides. Bills were introduced this year in Rhode Island and Washington state. \
Advocates in Rhode Island have introduced bills to legalize gay marriage every year since 1997, but have gotten nowhere. So this year, in addition to filing marriage legislation, they hope to have some success with six new bills that focus on incremential rights rather than the label of marriage.
Are they fighting a losing battle?
