Doesn't this mean that any pair that decides to engage in a "life partnership" would qualify. For example, I work for the city and I have a platonic friend that needs insurance. Wouldn't I be able to attain insurance and benefits for my friend under this program? I mean we are life long friends after all.

In a victory for gay couples, Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled Monday that Philadelphia has a right to give city employees in same-sex "life partnerships" the same type of worker benefits now enjoyed only by married couples.

I have no problem with that as long as, if the "life partner" and the employee ever part ways, the "life partner" gets to keep half of the employee's stuff......And alimony.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - more from Philadelphia, which used to be known as the "city of brotherly love" and is now known as the "city of same sex sodomy".

:-(

There has been lots of nastiness from Philadelphia and the "gay" agenda. This is just more dribbles from the same fetid swamp. Aided and abetted, you'll notice, by leftist judges.

Let me and ItsOurTimeNow know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

I have a question. Since my sister is queer, but we have the same set of parents, why is she a minority and I'm not?
Why is it that when I wear my 'Straight Pride' t-shirt, I'm homophobic? But when she wears her 'Gay Pride' t-shirt, she is not heterophobic?

This is a group of people who define themselves by their sexuality and nothing else. Every form I fill out does not include a box for 'Queer'. If it did, would a gay Mexican be more of a minority than a straight one?

I am tired of having the gay agenda shoved down my throat (no pun intended).

Okay, okay... before everybody flips out, whenever I hear this "domestic partner" stuff I think of my two maiden aunts who lived together for 40 years before one of them died, and it makes total sense to me for one of them to have been able to use their insurance benefit to pay for the other one... who gives a schumer who it is you're paying for, really.

(However NTS nothing in the preceding should be in anyway construed to in any way imply that fags are not completely revolting miscegenated depraved vile subhuman scum etc. yawn blah bore ad nauseum, of curse...) (or at least the ones on DU are...)

"Even with the law, he noted, same-sex couples still wouldn't have the right to file joint tax returns, or avoid testifying against each other in a criminal trial, or automatically receive workers compensation when their partner dies."

Yet.

What about hetersexual live in "life partners" who have a personal objection to marriage, this ruling discriminates against their ability to have marriage-lite.
