Earlier this month Salt Lake City Council unanimously approved the proposed citywide partner registry that would be available to same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples who cannot or chose not to marry. (story)
State Sen. Chris Buttars (R), a longtime LGBT rights foe, has proposed legislation to block the registry and dismantle partner benefits to the domestic partners of city workers.
Buttars maintains that the both the registry and the city's domestic partner benefits violate the state's ban on same-sex marriage.
Buttars, from my understanding, is a first class dickwad
