Wait a minute!!!!! Ok, I have been with the same lovely Bride for over 31 years, but back in my single days, I was a tramp, a promiscuous slave to my heterosexual desires. This behavior subjected me and those around me, to many.......lets say...14 day health issues. So, if the gays get coverage for their dates, might I be able to collect reparations for the health costs associated with my prior deeds, adventures and conquests???

Also, hypothetically, as I can not "legally marry" a girlfriend, because I am already married....... if I choose to have a girlfriend, might I be able to get coverage for her, and her, and her, and her.......

I find so much of this gay stuff so darn silly....they are going to make things even worse for them than they claim things are now!

As a single person? It doesn't matter whether you're gay or straight, your health plan will cover you the same when you're single.

You can legally marry your girlfriend, you just choose not to since that would mean divorcing your current wife. The rationale behind allowing unmarried partner benefits only to homosexuals is because they cannot, legally, marry their chosen partner. Keep in mind, though, that some employer health plans allow unmarried straight couples to claim coverage, too.
