A Florida Republican announced legislation on Wednesday to block state universities and community colleges from using taxpayer's money for same-sex domestic partner benefits.

The University of Florida trustees voted 12-1 last month to approve the benefits plan for the same-sex partners of employees. (story)

The decision made UF the state's only public university to approve such a policy, which also covers partners of unmarried straight couples. Married employees have long been able to insure their spouses.

Rep. Larry Cretul said his bill would not prevent the schools from using private funds to pay for the benefits. Cretul said he is not prejudiced.

:rofl:

yeah, and I'm not a big old queen either

gee, I wonder what he would try if he was prejudiced

"Put others down so you will be built up". It is UnChristian and UnAmerican. The KKK, the right wing Christian theocrats, and the Taliban may like it. But to the rest of us it is bigoted nonsense.
