Bob Buckhorn has signed ordinances in Tampa supporting domestic partnerships. The ordinance gave rights to gay couples, such as being able to see their partner in the hospital. It did not give marriage rights, since that would have to be done on the state level, but it did create a city registry to support the rights of those who register.
He was quoted saying:
"I'll bet you that the majority of the citizens who don't want to get married for financial reasons. They want the protection of law if their spouse is disabled or ill, so to me, that was nothing more than human decency and I was happy to sign it."
