Yeah, I can go with that. That will make things a lot simpler for me and everyone else

Cool!

I just finished doing my annual enrollment for the benefits package... and my company makes sure to put several times....

"*** requires a legal union between one man and one woman to be considered as a husband and wife (“spouse”) under the terms of our plan."

That makes me really upset.... So even in states like California (where I know we have offices) that have LEGAL GAY MARRIAGE... the partner would not be able to get the benefits because it specifically defines "between one man and one woman".

Or what about the states that have civil unions, or domestic partnerships?? This is def. discrimination by my employer... and with over 8,000 people that work for this company.. I wouldnt expect this because most large corporations offer "partner" benefits

It should make you really upset.

These anti-gay amendments are just the last form of discrimination that people feel is acceptable. (maybe not the last because Muslim-Americans are really feeling it now too)

You think the gov would dare let us vote on an amendment (in todays world) saying that blacks should be at seperate schools and only allowed to sit in the back of the bus??? Would that go over at all??

How would that be any different than denying gays equal rights.

The Prop 2 here in FL wants to define marriage as one man and one woman.. and the wording in it would also harm gays who have partner benefits with their companies and other legal contracts.

Its a crying shame that this is even taking place and as an American I am embarassed for my country and the discrimination that is taking place in it.

And that fact that the majority of people (that prop 2 is supposed to pass with flying colors) in this country support and defend this discrimination makes me want to go all office space on my computer right now.
