Mayor Nutter signed the Equal Benefits Bill into law Monday surrounded by a crowd of LGBTs and allies, including the city’s director of LGBT affairs Gloria Casarez (from left), Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations executive director Rue Landau and City Councilmembers Jannie Blackwell, Blondell Reynolds Brown and Donna Reed Miller. Reynolds Brown spearheaded the measure, which will require companies that contract with the city for more than $250,000 provide domestic-partner benefits to their employees. Photo: Scott Drake
