3Wisconsin statutes relating to marriage and the determination of parentage with the
4provision of s. 990.001 (2), which specifies that words importing one gender extend
5and may be applied to any gender. The legislature intends that by amending the
6statutes relating to marriage and the determination of parentage with respect to
7married couples to use gender neutral language where appropriate so as to clarify
8that the same statutory rights and responsibilities apply between married persons
9of the same sex as between married persons of different sexes and to extend some of
10the presumptions of paternity to either parent, the Wisconsin statutes will be better
11aligned with the holding of the U.S. Supreme Court in Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S.
12Ct. 2584, 192 L. Ed. 2d 609 (2015), which recognizes that same-sex couples have a
13fundamental constitutional right to marriage.
