It was inevitable. People would find this out and use it to their advantage. Now we have Canada to thank for gay-marriage and socialized health care

Why not a couple of single straight brothers?

In a human resources benefits meeting for our company not long ago, they started briefing about the "domestic partner" benefit. I asked some questions of the HR lady; the dialogue went something like this:

Me: "Do you have to be gay to receive the benefit?"

HR lady: "Oh, no, you can be opposite-sex domestic partners."

Me: "No, I mean can two straight guys collect the benefit?"

HR lady: "Um, I think you have to sign a legal affidavit stating that you are in a loving and committed relationship."

Me: "Whoa! Does that mean if my current marriage isn't loving, I can't get the benefit?"

HR lady: "I'd like to end this line of questioning now. NEXT?!!"
