Colorado city ends same-sex partner benefits

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A recent vote in Colorado against same-sex partner benefits demonstrates the strength Christians and pro-family groups have when involved in the political process.

The Colorado Springs city council eliminated heath benefits for partners of homosexual city employees April 22 by an 8-1 vote — just three weeks after an election that focused heavily on the issue produced sweeping change.

During the election, six of the seven council members who won promised to eliminate the same-sex benefits. One of those six was Mayor Lionel Rivera, a voting council member.  (TAB)
