Forum to examine domestic registry
The MAINstream Coalition and the Kansas Equality Coalition will present a public forum Thursday night to discuss a domestic partner registry for Lawrence.
The free forum, titled “So What’s a Domestic Partnership Registry, Anyway?” will start at 7 p.m. Thursday at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt.
The Lawrence City Commission soon will discuss creating a registry for domestic partners, and the forum will address questions such as:
¢ What is a domestic partner registry?
¢ How would it affect life in Lawrence?
¢ Do I have to be “pro-gay” to be “pro-registry”?
Panelists will include Boo Tyson, director of the MAINstream Coalition; Toni Wheeler, the city’s legal services director; and Steve Maceli, a local business owner.
