Z0I r lffoils down to JUST A NO BULLY LAW IN SCHOOLS FOR ZTCM �•A ANYONE DIFFERENT.,,AND NO nAIC rr of 1AITIArr- CC Thank you council members. My name is Carol Balasa. My husband, Mike, and. I are co-presidents of the Palm Springs/Desert Communities Chapter of PFLAG. My husband and I have been happily married 46 years. In 2008, when our gay friends and neighbors were legally married--it had no effect on the love and sanctity of our marriage. We wept tears of joy at our gay and lesbian friends weddings. Our wonderful friends Tom and Ron were together for 58 years and were legally married in California in 2008. Unfortunately, Tom died in March. They loved and supported each other---- for better or worse, for richer, for poorer. In these last four years, as Tom spent so much time in the hospital, they loved each other in sickness and in health. Because the Defense of Marriage Act denies gay spouses the Social Security survivor benefits that would be paid to heterosexual widows and widowers, Ron is not getting the Social Security stwvivor benefits his-husband, Torn, earned. Now, Ron may lose their beautiful home. Please support the Palm Springs Human Rights Commission's marriage equality resolution. It may seem like a small step but, by going on record supporting full civil marriage equality for all residents of Palm Springs, our home town will inspire others to end discrimination. Eleanor Roosevelt said: "Where, after all, do universal rights begin? In small places, close to home." Be on the right side of history. Someday, your children and grandchildren will be proud that you supported equality. Carol Balasa, Palm Springs, CA ,95/o =r,EM -•A RESOLUTION NO.
