According to the Orlando Sentinel, mayoral candidate Mike Cantone called on Dyer to adopt gay-friendly legislation that would apply to companies doing business with the City of Orlando. Further, Cantone blamed Dyer for not moving quickly enough on a proposed domestic partnership registry. Dyer is pushing a measure which would make it easier for gays to make decisions affecting their partners. The city already offers domestic partner benefits to its own employees, a measure approved since Dyer was elected mayor, but Cantone said the city must do more.
