Thank the Key West City Commission for their Leadership

On February 22nd, the Key West City Commission voted unanimously to approve an Equal Benefits Ordinance (EBO), a measure that will require the city's vendors to provide employees' domestic partners with benefits equal to those offered to spouses of married employees.

By enacting this ordinance, the City of Key West adopts one of the nation's most significant policies furthering workplace equality. Tonight, Key West continues its long history of leadership in the area of human rights by delivering on the promise of One Human Family.

although you might be hard pressed to find anyone north of Okeechobee that considers Key West to be "true Florida". Hell, I know people in Central Florida that consider anything north of Ocala to be south Georgia and everything south of Haines City is either swamp or Cuba.

I try not to hang out with those people. (or possibly they try not to hang out with me - I was born in Tallahassee after all...)

but still, a start is a start right?
