Defying State Threats, Arizona Town Approves Same-Sex Civil Unions 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Arizona town of Bisbee has become the state's first to allow
same-sex civil unions. The Bisbee City Council defied a threat of legal
action from the state government on Tuesday to approve civil unions in a
5-to-2 vote. Arizona's state attorney general says he will try to block
the measure in court.
