Good morning and thanks for tuning in to Equally Speaking, your morning dose of LGBT news from the Human Rights Campaign for Wednesday, February 25. I’m John Greene.
And I’m Breanna Bianco. First up, news from Colorado.
During a congressional debate on Monday, Colorado state Senator Scott Renfroe made remarks comparing homosexuality to murder and adultery. Renfroe spoke during a debate over statewide legislation that would provide benefits to the same-sex partners of state employees. His remarks, which have been condemned by the Human Rights Campaign, included calling homosexuality an abomination, an offense to God, and a sin comparable to murder and adultery.
In other Colorado news, the Aurora City Council voted Monday night in favor of providing benefits to the partners of lesbian and gay city employees, as well as to unmarried partners in different-sex relationships. The resolution offers health, dental, life, vision, and post-employment insurance to unmarried domestic partners. Several Colorado cities already offer benefits to same-sex couples, including Denver, Boulder, Lakewood, and Littleton.
Today in Kentucky, a coalition of LGBT organizations is set to lobby state legislators to oppose an anti-LGBT adoption bill. The legislation, sponsored by state Senator Gary Tapp, would prevent single people and individuals in same-sex relationships from adopting. Statewide LGBT organizations, including the Kentucky Equality Federation and the Kentucky Fairness Alliance, have joined more than ten other LGBT groups in organizing today’s lobby day and rally.
An LGBT anti-discrimination bill has been dismissed this week by a state Senate Committee in Idaho. The legislation, which was sponsored by state Senator Nicole LeFavour, would have added employment protections for the LGBT community to the state’s existing Human Rights Act. The Senate State Affairs Committee dismissed the bill by a simple voice vote, effectively killing the measure for this year. A similar bill was dismissed in the same way last year.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced its support for two California bills that would invalidate Proposition 8. In a letter to California legislators, NAACP leaders urged the passage of House Resolution 5 and Senate Resolution 7, which would put the legislature on record as supporting the invalidation of Prop 8. NAACP national board chair Julian Bond will also be speaking at HRC’s 2009 Los Angeles Dinner and Hero Awards on March 14.
The largest Presbyterian Church congregation in Arkansas has elected an openly gay man to the position of deacon. The Presbyterian constitution officially requires its officers to be either celibate or faithfully in a different-sex marriage. However, the congregation at Little Rock’s Second Presbyterian Church has approved the appointment of openly gay Michael Upson with a voice vote. Upson has been in a relationship with another man for over twenty years, and has been a Second Presbyterian member since 2001.
That’s the news from us today. Thanks for tuning in to Equally Speaking.
