Chatham Borough Passes Domestic Partner Benefits

by: Juan Melli

Tue Apr 11, 2006 at 08:40:27 AM EDT



The all-Republican Chatham Borough Council last night passed domestic partner benefits for the partners of municipal employees. This is a staunchly Republican town, yet the measure passed without controversy. Chatham Borough is in Morris County, which passed domestic partner benefits for county employees in late February. Steven Goldstein, chair of Garden State Equality notes: "It's yet another indication of the overwhelming bipartisan consensus in New Jersey to expand the civil rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community."

Well, it's Chatham. (0.00 / 0)
It's one of the last outposts of liberal Republicanism.  And most of the fine ladies of Chatham probably figured, "Why not?  Who else is going to decorate our mansions?" 

I'm exaggerating, of course.  But only slightly.
