From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The Western Corp. of the Salvation Army announced Thursday it will start providing domestic partners benefits.

“Health care is a universal good, and the only way to access it is through employment,” said San Francisco Division Cmdr. Richard Love. “We want to make health care as broad as possible.”

Currently, Salvation Army employees and their spouses in the Western states receive full health benefits.

Now domestic partners--straight or gay--and any adult member of the employee’s household will also be able to apply for health care.
