Judge declines to suspend Houston same-sex benefits policy

Judge declines to suspend Houston same-sex benefits policy
A federal judge has denied a request to halt a new policy that allows same-sex spouses of Houston city employees to apply for benefits. The ruling did not address the constitutionality of the policy, but set a hearing date for late February to determine where the case will be heard. "The tide has already turned," said Kenneth Upton, an attorney for Lambda Legal. "I think it's all just playing out now in a predictable way."
