Last night Bisbee AZ's town council voted to start issuing civil union licenses. Arizona forbids same-sex marriage but Bisbee side steps this with civil union licenses. These licenses can only apply to city services without stepping on state law, but Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne has said the ordinance is still unconstitutional, and will go to court to block it, and go after councillors who voted for it. Busloads of out of town religious-righties were brought in and dominated the emotional public comments portion of the evening with every over-the-top anti-gay view you've heard here on C-D - but the measure still passed. Congratulations to Bisbee for doing what they can.
