The Equal Benefits bill (SB 117) was authored by Senator Christine Kehoe (D-San Diego) and sponsored by Equality California.

HRC Commends 9th Circuit Decision to Protect Domestic Partner Benefits

 

  

This week the Human Rights Campaign - the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization - commends a decision issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit prohibiting an Arizona law from taking effect that would have ended domestic partner benefits for state employees.   In September 2009, Governor Jan Brewer signed a budget provision passed by the Arizona legislature that eliminated state workers' domestic partner benefits by defining dependent to include only spouses and dependent children. The law would have created a substantial hardship for the same-sex couples relying on the benefits and would have led to inadequate compensation for employees in same-sex households.

FROOTSFROOTS        

Gay-Friendly Franchise  

 

The difference between Froots and other smoothie concepts is that Froots is actually a quick service restaurant. We are not just a juice bar or a smoothie shop. We are a healthy food destination. Invariably, when we open a Froots in a new market, customers first visit our locations to "check out the new smoothie shop in town". But when they get inside and see wraps with unique flavor profiles like Wasabi Chicken and Kingston Jerk or gourmet salads like The Chinese Chicken, they quickly come to think of Froots as a healthy alternative to traditional fast food fare. Providing our customers with a full menu of healthy offerings is what defines and differentiates the Froots Smoothies brand.
