Tell Utah: Don't Strip Contracts Between Same-Sex Couples


Tell Utah: Don't Strip Contracts Between Same-Sex Couples
The Issue
Utah State Rep. LeVar Christensen just introduced a bill that could bar same-sex couples from making certain contractual arrangements like wills or financial arrangements.
That's right. State Rep. Christensen wants to pass legislation that could prevent LGBT people from drafting wills with their life partners. Amazing that he not only wants to keep same-sex couples apart in real life -- Rep. Christensen was one of the legislators behind Utah's constitutional amendment barring gay mariage -- he now wants to keep same-sex couples apart in death, too. Now that's how you say heartless.
This is also a repeat effort on Rep. Christensen's part. In 2006, he introduced a very similar bill to block gay couples from forming legal contracts. It was barely defeated then. It needs to be overwhelmingly defeated now.
Send the Utah legislature a message that Rep. Christensen's bill, HB 182, must be defeated. It's a cruel bill, no matter where one's politics on the issue of same-sex marriage stand.
