KY SB152
Those vulgar women at Pandagon continue to fight the good fight. Yesterday, they pointed out that the Kentucky Senate is considering a bill to deny health benefits to domestic partners.
The Bluegrass State already has a state constitutional amendment banning gays and lesbians from marrying. It’s not enough for the agents of intolerance out there who are so desperate to protect the sanctity of their unions from the advancing homosexualist mob, they feel compelled to take action against any meager advances in civil rights.
The fact is that they want gay folks to have no rights at all, even partner health benefits at state universities and colleges (even if the partner pays 100% of the premium!). A measure to ban the benefit has passed in committee in the Kentucky Senate and moves to a floor vote. A similar bill is in the House.
This Senate bill (SB 152) was launched as a response to the University of Louisville’s decision to offer partner health benefits, which would have made it the first public instution in the state to do so.
The University of Kentucky and Northern Kentucky University have also been considering offering benefits to domestic partners.
Here is the text of the bill and its vote history.
Although the Senate in Kentucky is dominated by Republicans while Democrats hold the House, I’d say this bill is destined to pass.
