Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has signed legislation he says is aimed at making the city “the most LGBT-friendly” in the world. The landmark bill includes the first-ever tax incentives for businesses that offer health coverage for life partners and transgender health needs. It extends rights to same-sex partners in medical decision making and requires health insurance for city employees to cover transgender health costs, including sex-change surgeries.
