SEATTLE (AP) � Seattle's mayor said Sunday the city will begin
recognizing the marriages of gay employees who tie the knot elsewhere,
although it will not conduct its own same-sex weddings.
Mayor Greg Nickels was to sign an executive order Monday
giving same-sex spouses of city employees all the benefits of
heterosexual spouses, including health insurance.
[TB] Why doesn't Minneapolis do this? Sure the court said that the
City can't give benefits to people who aren't married, but these folks
are married.
Marriage will only be increasing as it's now happening in a couple of
Canadian provinces and several US states. The list of places allowing
marriage is growing every day.
