O'Reilly doesn't claim to be a conservative, although he obviously leans toward traditional values on most issues.
While I am not a fan of civil unions, most major companies now provide benefits to same sex partners primarily because of political correctness. That's a battle that unfortunately I think has already been lost.

I don't think it is lost because the the devastating overwhelming support of Marriage Amendments.
ALL new Marriage Amendments specifically outlaw civil union and cohabitation benefits.
I think Massachusetts recent socialized medicine is a product of business just droping benefits for ALL rather than take on the added burden.
Also keep in mind some companies only provide benefits for homosexuals living together NOT normal people.
The war is far from over.
