WI Lawmakers Hire Conservative Christian Law Firm To Fight Gay Benefits
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/05/051905wiscSuit.htm

The Wisconsin legislature has hired a law firm associated with Focus on the Family to fight a lawsuit by six lesbian state workers seeking family benefits for their partners.

The Republican-controlled Joint Committee on Legislative Organization voted 6-3 along party lines Wednesday to authorize the Alliance Defense Fund to represent the Legislature.

The suit was filed last month. (story) Married employees of the state of Wisconsin are permitted to include their spouses and children on the state insurance plan.
