Stahl Associates Co.'' |partner=Miguel Braschi }} Miguel Braschi (October 8, 1956 – d. 1990) and his life partner Leslie Blanchard (June 3, 1934 – September 14, 1986) were an American gay couple who were the central figures in the landmark New York Court of Appeals case ''Braschi v. Stahl Associates Co.'' (1989). The victory served as the first court recognition of a same-sex couple as a family in the United States, and thus, as a significant milestone in the history of gay men in the United States.
