And the city of Aurora joins the 21st century by passing domestic partner benefits for both straight and same-sex couples. If straight people are worried about the destruction of marriage as an institution, they need only look at their own divorce statistics to discover why many straight couples might prefer to remain domestic partners. And they need only look at their own outdated laws to discover why same-sex couples aren't getting married--umm, they can't.But congratulations to Aurora and to police officers like Aurora Detective Tara Mastracchio, who defends the people of her city every day and can now reap the benefits from risking her life that straight cops have always been entitled to.
