Republican Governor Jon Huntsman Jr of Utah has come out in full support of a legislative effort in the state championed by Equality Utah. The bill, Common Grounds Initiative, would among other things would extend health care benefits and provide for employment and housing discrimination protection.
The Governor, and remember Republican from Utah, has further come out in favor of civil unions.
ABC 4, of Salt Lake City asked Gov. Huntsman:“You support civil unions?”
Gov. Huntsman replied, “Well, its something I have given a lot of thought to and the answer is yes.”
It is rumored that Gov. Huntsman is looking to position himself as a compassionate conservative for a run at the White House in 2012.
I for one will be interested in how he moves forward.
