Tel Aviv gays to get married couples' discounts
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L31308745.htm

TEL AVIV, July 31 (Reuters) - Tel Aviv has granted same-sex couples the same city discounts as married couples in what homosexuals hailed as a step towards full integration in Israel.

Gay residents who declare their union in a notarised statement will be authorised to receive discounts for city services and sites such as sports centres and museums, the Tel Aviv municipality said on Thursday.

Wednesday's decision by the city authorities does not cover state benefits such as child allowances.

"The achievement here goes well beyond money," said Adi Steiner, the municipality's liaison officer for Tel Aviv's gay community.
