Lake Worth vote backs gay unions, opposes marriage amendment

From the article:

Because the amendment defines marriage as between one man and one woman and states that no other legal union shall be recognized, Commissioner David Vespo said city employees who have domestic partners could see health insurance or other benefits denied if the amendment receives the 60 percent voter approval needed to pass.

"People have become wise to the fact that these types of amendments are getting on the ballot as a way of generating fear in the public," Lake Worth Mayor Jeff Clemens said.


Yeah Lake Worth!! Thanks Mayor and Commissioners - this was a unanimous vote.
