The city resolution also reads:

The passage of Amendment 2 may prohibit, and/or otherwise declare illegal, companies in the private and public sectors from maintaining domestic partner registries, and offering benefits (such as health insurance) to employees with domestic partners, whether these domestic partnerships are same-sex partnerships or not.

They couldn't have spelled out what's at stake with this amendment any clearer: Amendment 2 will take away much needed benefits from couples and families. This deceptive amendment is far-reaching in its impact on families in Florida. I applaud the City of Miami for taking such a strong stance and for spelling out exactly what is at stake.

They join the Broward County Commission, the Broward County School Board, the League of Women Voters, the Broward League of Cities, Central Florida Labor Council, Florida Education Association (FEA), Florida Professional Firefighters, National Organization for Women, People for the American Way, and many more groups who have come out strongly against Amendment 2.
