(Community Matters) Still no word from Congressman Lloyd Doggett on whether he’ll support fairness in federal benefits, so that LGBT employees enjoy the same benefits as straight federal employees. I realize any reluctance on behalf of the Congressman would surprise many Austinites; however, we should remember when Lloyd told a group of gay/lesbian activists that he would NEVER support recognizing our committed relationships the same as his and Libby’s. I would have hoped 15+ years would have enlightened our elected representative but fear he still feels this way.
I don’t understand Lloyd’s apparent reluctance to support the Domestic Partners Benefits and Obligations Act of 2009.
