Domestic Partnership's at Kentucky University's Under Attack, act by 01/31/07

Representative Stan Lee (R-Fayette) couldn't wait for the legislature to reconvene in January before filing his first anti-gay bill. Representative Lee's first attack against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community for the upcoming 2007 Legislative Session is to "prohibit public higher education institutions from providing health benefits for a domestic partner of a university or college employee."

BR 102 - Representative Stan Lee (10/16/06)

AN ACT relating to health benefits provided by state universities and colleges.
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 164 to define "domestic partner" as an unmarried adult person of the same sex or opposite sex who is not a blood relative and who lives with a university or college employee; prohibit public higher education institutions from providing health benefits for a domestic partner of a university or college employee

Message Body:
I strongly oppose legislation pre-filed by Representative Lee (R-Fayette) to "prohibit public higher education institutions from providing health benefits for a domestic partner of a university or college employee." I believe administration in the commonwealth's university's have a better understanding of what is in the best interests of their institutions. I strongly oppose all attempts by the commonwealth to consolidate government and remove "home rule" from our local governments and educational institutions. "We are becoming more aware of the complexity and diversity of the Kentucky Family ..... family life today encompasses a wide range of lifestyles and living arrangements. Households are comprised of two working parents, a single parent, a step parent or parents, foster families, extended families, unmarried couples living together, lesbian and gay couples with and without children, and one-person households." cc: Kentucky Equality Federation
