Lawrence domestic partner registry prompts City Hall celebration
[updated 5:50 p.m.]
Here are just some of the couples who registered today.
Top: Joyce Shontz and Danita Long have been a committed couple for 6 years. In the background are Tom Witt, state chair of the Kansas Equality Coalition, talking to a reporter. Tom is in the brown suit. Joyce, by the way, is a former president of her church board of directors. Danita teaches in the congregation's Sunday school.
Middle: Jessica Pierson, left, and Jen Humphrey, right, took some time off from work to register.
Bottom: Mike Silverman, left, and Dave Greenbaum, right, have been together for more than a decade.
Neither these photos or any of the others I've posted give a sense of the number of people who crammed into the room. The Equality Coalition had lined up four couples to register, but others kept coming.
