For the environment and low school taxes due to low gay fertility, I support the Resolution in support of full equality for all Asheville citizens, and IMMEDIATE implementation of same sex domestic partner benefits for Asheville employees.  I further support similar action in almost all cities, towns, counties and states.  "Almost" because the die-hard fundies do need an asylum somewhere to which to "big sort" themselves; and remembering that unlike presidents and governors, mayors are not answerable to rural voters.

Because equality is only one reason among many.
