How come the residents of Evanston don't get a say in this? So one alderman who happens to be gay wants to advocate, not for his fellow residents, but for his own lifestyle. The requirements: the significant other must be 18 and the same sex as the employee. So what's to stop the massive pile on of people who will claim a relative,friend, etc as being their "significant same sex other".

Treating gay families as equal- granting equal marriage rights- would prevent this pile up.

I am against same-sex marriage. I have been married for 27 years... and for 27 years it's been the same sex... BORING!

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Pisces

Whether the excesses of the past few days are catching up with you or you're feeling drained for other reasons, you need as much rest as possible today. Once you get tired, your defenses will be down and you'll start to fret about whatever is currently nagging away at the back of your mind. You're also concerned about the welfare of a certain person, which doesn't help.
