I'm sure that Utah Governor Jon Huntsman and I disagree on many things, and if he runs for the GOP nomination in 2012 I will probably be very critical, but I have to give props to him today for bucking 70% of his constituents to support a bill granting civil unions to gay and lesbian Utahans.
Beyond civil unions, Huntsman also threw his support behind a bill to allow two unmarried, co-habiting adults to sign a "joint-support declaration" to gain inheritance rights and medical-decision making decisions for one another, as well as a bill to outlaw employment and housing discrimination for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
