It's not a marriage, 's jt an admistrative procs, said Patrick Berguer, 42, one half of the first uple to enter to the partnership. It won't change the way we live our liv . However, Patrick did adm to beg moved . There will be no honeymoon, though. Patrick said he would have to return the afternoon to his job as a puter specialist. His partner, Yv Matteis, has been a drivg force mov to get the partnership law passed Geneva. We now have the same rights as heterosexual upl. So is symbolilly important.

The Swiss Jtice Mister, Ruth Metzler, is currently drawg up a draft feral law on same-sex partnerships. Geneva has shown that the prciple of equaly has to be rpected - and that sends a strong msage to the nferatn and to Ruth Metzler, Matteis said. The new law will have no impact on homosexual upl' tax, health surance premiums or rights to adopt children. But will give them herance rights, and make easier for them to rent an apartment together, and have visg rights hospals. Society will now also have to regard as a uple, says Matteis. The law has been dubbed the Geneva PACS, after the French Civil Solidary Pact approved October 1999. It do not specifilly mentn same-sex partners, although was origally nceived jt for homosexuals.
