A Colorado court has been told that the city's cancellation of health benefits to the partners of gay and lesbian municipal workers was illegal and that the benefits should be restored.

The argument was made in a brief submitted by the lawyer for two lesbian couple who say their constitutional rights were violated when Colorado Springs City Council abruptly terminated the benefits in 2003.

The city began providing health care benefits to the partners of its gay and lesbian workers in 2000. But, in April 2003 a new council ended the plan.

The majority of the natives were really cool. They were also pretty ticked off at how their city has been taken over by people from other states that moved to the Springs because Colorado has lenient tax laws when it comes to religious organizations.
