Utah Rep.: Ban Gays From Publicly Funded Programs
By Michelle Garcia
A Utah legislator introduced a bill Wednesday that would require all
publicly funded programs, laws, and regulations, to ensure they exclude
families headed by gay and lesbian couples.
Rep. LaVar Christensen writes in the bill's language that "marriage and
family predate all governments and are supported by and consistent with the
Laws of Nature and God, the Creator and Supreme Judge of the World, affirmed
in the nation’s founding Declaration of Independence." It also says, "
families anchored by both a father and a mother, fidelity within marriage,
and enduring devotion to the covenants and responsibilities of marriage are
the desired norm."
Brandie Balken, executive director of Equality Utah, told the Salt Lake City
Tribune that the bill could be used to "create a filter for public agencies
and a way to target laws, services and funding that currently help single
Utahns or Utanhs with families that differ from Representative Christensen's
." |
