“Seems like an equal protection issue if this bill discriminates against other types of “partnerships. “
It would be discrimination against a child who financially supports their parent/s who live with them, and vice versa.
Where a parent supports an adult son, or daughter.
If the federal govt is going to open pandora’s box, then let the discriminatory civil actions begin.
Well it looks like we’ll be paying benefits for the Fudge Packers. It all about the votes people.
Unless this law provides the same options for heterosexual’s living together and not married then this law has to be unconstitutional because it gives rights to a class a people based solely on their sexual preferences.
You can not grant “rights” to one group on the basis on their sexual orientation, and in the same law deny rights to another group because of their opposite sexual orientation.
It’s got to be all or none.
I guess if your hetero live-in is not homosexual, they should declare themselves to be so, and become eligible for becoming a lifetime co-ward of the govt
No marriage, no divorce, imagine the court battles over partner benefits
I have an idea. How 'bout if we figure out how much we are already paying for Federal "employee" "benefits" and if the Federal "workers" want to divide that money over some larger group then they can do so but the ones who are receiving some largess now should know that it will become a smalless as they are asked to share it with one special interest group after another.

This bill will etch it into stone.
OK, let me get this straight: If two homosexuals decide they want to live together, they can have access to taxpayers’ money to make their cohabitation validated. What about two heterosexuals merely living together without marriage? Wouldn’t it be discriminatory against them to give homosexuals benefits without any two cohabitating partners?
He's Baaaaack !!!!
With the exception of Federal Employee Health Benefits.
A recent poll showed that 40% of the people think that marriage comes from man and thus the state, that it can be whatever the state decides it is. They have been conditioned to think that the state defines marriage. And the homosexualists and statists love it.

a virtual armette!
Oh yeah .... what we need is more people like Barney Frank in the federal government.
You are totally wrong. There are many drop-dead, totally gorgeous lesbians. You may not know them or possibly you know them but don't realize they are lesbians.
Back to the topic of this thread - I am sick and tired of politicians who pander for votes. They won't be happy till they get everybody but the producers on the dole.
Now we come to the point. It never was about anything else but money.
That’s your and my tax money folks, going to pay for one of the unhealthiest, most expensive demographics in the world.
A deep bow??!! They don’t want us to bow to them. They want us all to BEND OVER for them. I knew this crap was coming. That is one of the reasons I choose to retire from the military. I absolutely REFUSE to support this type of lifestyle. We had a brief by our commander about the repeal of DADT. I asked him about the statistics that PROVE homosexual lifestyle is more prone to DISEASE and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE! He said, “I didn’t write the policy.” We’ve already had one case of domestic violence (male-male relationship). I’m just hoping my retirement date gets here fast. I’d hate to be sitting at the hospital waiting for an appointment and Jim and John come in holding hands and sit next to me. Of course I am not allowed to use my freedom of speech on base. That might upset the fairies!
This is something that will thrill the American people, 75 percent of whom wanted the military “open” to “diversitiy.”
I am afraid that the American people are not in the least sympathetic to your position, freedomfighter.
I’m sure MA would agree. People in MA are no longer admirers of the original John Adams.
