Tucson’s city staff is to expand benefits not only to cover same-sex relationships but those of heterosexual partners as well. This would bring the city of Tucson into compliance with its own nondiscrimination policies since it has offered benefits to same-sex relationship partners since 1997. Recommendations have been made by three city appointed commissions, which include the Human Relations Commission, Pima County Tucson Women’s Commission and the Tucson Commission of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues, to extend the benefits to all employees.
