OBSERVER EXCLUSIVE

Helms: Consider same-sex benefits


Idea finds Dem support, GOP defiance

CARRIE LEVINE

Staff Writer

 

Mecklenburg County should consider offering domestic-partner benefits and protecting employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation, county commissioners Chairman Parks Helms said Sunday.

"There is no reason to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation," Helms said

........................

James said Democrats, who have a 6-3 majority on the county board, have the right to set policy. But he said bringing this issue to the board would create a debate on the same scale as a late-1990s brouhaha over public funding for the arts.
