Vermont has once again taken the national
lead in recognizing what defines a family in
the socially aware ‘90s. ‘This really shows
that the work we started doing to ensure
that all Vermonters have access to truly

added. While only providing coverage for
employees of the state of Vermont and their
domestic partners, it can still be considered
“a progressive, responsive step forward to
universal coverage for everyone,” said
union director Thomas Whitney.

New York is poised to become the second
state to offer benefits to domestic partners of
gay and lesbian state employees under a
plan announced by Gov. Mario Cuomo in
June.
