Do you think the city should support a domestic partner registry?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on December 23, 2006
“Yeah, because it doesn't matter if you are in a gay relationship or not. You should have the same rights regardless of what you're in.”
— Catrina Rettman, occupational therapist, Lawrence
“I guess if it were something that would really help people and it's feasible for the city to do it, then I would be in favor of it. But if it's something that would be purely symbolic, I think the city's time would be better spent elsewhere.”
— Dustin Leochner, teacher, Lawrence
“Yes, absolutely. I think benefits for domestic partners such as health and life insurance are extremely important.”
— David Lloyd, Kansas University law student, Lawrence
“Yeah. It sounds like a good idea. I don't think anyone should be treated differently because of who they are. It's a good opportunity to treat people more equally.”
