How come the residents of Evanston don't get a say in this? So one alderman who happens to be gay wants to advocate, not for his fellow residents, but for his own lifestyle. The requirements: the significant other must be 18 and the same sex as the employee. So what's to stop the massive pile on of people who will claim a relative,friend, etc as being their "significant same sex other".

Treating gay families as equal- granting equal marriage rights- would prevent this pile up.

I am against same-sex marriage. I have been married for 27 years... and for 27 years it's been the same sex... BORING!

Daily Horoscope for January 1

Cancer

Happy New Year, Cancer! Are you ready to put those resolutions into place? Not quite?! Crustaceans are never quite sure just how much they can get away with and where to draw the line. You have a flair for the dramatic and when you're the narrator, your exploits become deeds that would make a knight proud. Your fans know you're a hero, whatever history might prove. Audacity impresses most people but if you go to far you could cause offence.
