Slovenia has recognized registered partnerships for same-sex couples since July 23, 2006. The law gives same-sex partners access to one another's pensions and property. Though a new Family Code was passed on June 16, 2011 by the then-governing coalition which would have given registered same-sex partners all the rights of married couples, except with regards to joint adoption, the motion was rejected by voters.

Famous quotes containing the words recognition of, recognition and/or unions:

    No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of minorities.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences.... Social feminists [in Europe] ... believe that men and society at large should provide systematic support to women in recognition of their dual role as mothers and workers.
    Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    When Hitler attacked the Jews ... I was not a Jew, therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then, Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church—and there was nobody left to be concerned.
    Martin Niemller (1892–1984)
