don't want to marry my pets but I demand equal health benefits for them from the firm I work for. And day care also. It's inhumane to make the dog hold her water for 9 hours while I work.

I predict that the issue of homosexual marriage will produce the following: Small and medium sized businesses will cease ANY kind of medical, dental, or eyecare benefits because the premium for these plans will skyrocket in trying to cover Aids and related diseases. So 90% + of employed persons will lose their benefits due to the homosexual perverts pushing their agenda.
When the implications of this sink in, watch the uproar. "Can't we all just get along" won't solve the problem, either. Let's see how far off I am on this topic......Any thoughts from the rest of you??

I'd say you are right. Now, many employers are offering (forced to offer) benefits for domestic partners. I think this covers not only gay partnerships but straights that live together. Every year I find myself having to shell out more and more of my own money to supplement the health insurance costs.

Good way for a person with an expensive terminal disease to get in on the cash cow. For instance, someone could claim coverage for their roommate who has AIDS even when they are are still boffing other people.

When companies have to increase their health benefits then salaries aren't raised as quickly.

And people continue to wonder why "greedy" corporations go to Asia to get the work done.
