Gay and Lesbian Connection

The city of Tallahassee approved benefits for unmarried couples, gay or straight. They also agreed to include sexual orientation and gender identity in the City’s anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies and procedures.

Wednesday, after the Tallahassee City Commission unanimously voted to change its benefits policy to include same-sex and domestic partnerships City Hall chambers broke out in cheers and applause. 

That means significant others, no matter their sexual orientation, will be eligible for the same benefits currently available to married couples. The policy change also means a non-married couple that has been together for a number of years are eligible for benefits.
