Miami-Dade OKs Domestic Partner Benefits

http://365gay.com/Newscon08/05/052008miami.htm

(Miami, Florida) The Miami-Dade County Commission voted 8-4 Tuesday to create a domestic partner registry for the county and to extend health insurance and other benefits to the domestic partners of county employees.

Both aspects of the plan are to be operational by late August.

Both the registry and the benefits for county workers will be open to those in unmarried relationships - both gay and straight.

An estimated 900 couples are expected to register.

Gay fever is catching on.:party:
