but thinks being gay is an immoral "cancer" :puke:
Anti-gay activists have created a new group that aims to overturn Appleton’s domestic partner benefits policy.
The Appleton Common Council voted Sept. 7 to extend employment benefits to the registered same-sex domestic partners of city workers. But former Appleton Ald. Jo Egelhoff, a staunch anti-equality activist, and Perry Bovee, a right-wing Christian leader with a record of multiple arrests, are fighting the decision. They’ve formed a group called “Appleton Taxpayers United," which has the single-issue mission of eliminating the partnership benefits, perhaps via referendum in next April’s general election.
Egelhoff and Bovee claim the city cannot afford the estimated $100,000 cost of providing city employees in registered same-sex relationships with the same employment benefits that married employees receive. But Mayor Tim Hanna and the majority of city leaders supported the benefits, arguing that they make the city a more competitive recruiter.

Bovee, a divorced man who says he stands for “family values,” has a history of personal problems. He was convicted of battery once and disorderly conduct three times. In addition, he’s been found guilty twice of driving while intoxicated and was served with a restraining order for harassing a woman.
