6(3), 891.41 (3), and 990.01 (22h), (39), and (40m) to harmonize the language of the
7Wisconsin statutes relating to marriage and the determination of parentage with the
8provision of s. 990.001 (2), which specifies that words importing one gender extend
9and may be applied to any gender. The legislature intends that by amending the
10statutes relating to marriage and the determination of parentage with respect to
11married couples to use gender neutral language where appropriate so as to clarify
12that the same statutory rights and responsibilities apply between married persons
13of the same sex as between married persons of different sexes and to extend some of
14the presumptions of paternity to either parent, the Wisconsin statutes will be better
15aligned with the holding of the U.S. Supreme Court in Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S.
16Ct. 2584, 192 L. Ed. 2d 609 (2015), which recognizes that same-sex couples have a
17fundamental constitutional right to marriage.”.
