ALERT: Ban on Domestic Partner Registries slated for vote; call the Kansas House NOW

By Diane Silver

Word has come from the Kansas Equality Coalition that the state House of Representatives plans to vote tomorrow on a bill banning domestic partner registries throughout the state.

We think the bill could void the registry passed by the Lawrence City Commission in August. The legislation -- House Bill 2299 -- would also make it impossible for any other city in Kansas to pass a registry.

Call your representative in the Kansas House NOW. You must call before they go into session at 11 a.m. tomorrow. Tell them to vote NO.

More details, talking points and contact information for legislators can be found at the Equality Coalition web site.
