Gays apparently can, will never be satisfied. What a sniveling fruity flock of pusillanimous namby-pamby, pantywaist hypocrites.
“Corning, I.B.M. and Raytheon all provide domestic partner benefits to employees with same-sex partners in states where they cannot marry. But now that they can legally wed in New York, five other states and the District of Columbia, they will be required to do so if they want their partner to be covered for a routine checkup or a root canal.”
That seems reasonable.
What difference does it make if they go through some sham ceremony? It doesn’t mean anything. It’s not marriage.
LOL! A gay friend of mine, years ago, said that what he really liked about being gay was that he didn’t have to get married or make any commitment and he hoped the gay lobby never pushed this.
It’s going to be extremely complicated. Gay men change partners about every full moon or less, so they’re obviously going to have to decide on the legal implications of marriage and work out the cost/benefit analysis.
It’s often difficult to think things through ahead of time.
For men and women, they must be married to claim spousal benefits. They can’t just live together or be boyfriend and girlfriend. Legal documentation is required, i.e., the marriage certificate, when proof is necessary. Otherwise, people could willy-nilly claim spousal benefits whenever they wanted. Spousal benefits can’t be based on nothing and simply there for the asking.
So if sodomites are allowed to marry in a given State, they will have to have the same documentation that a man and woman are required to have.
Allowing sodomites to marry opens up many logical “cans of worms”, but in the rush to garner votes, legislators rarely pause at all to consider unintended consequences. After all, their job is only to get re-elected, right ?
Like the kids say... duh.
Should companies require gay employees to marry if they want health coverage for their same-sex partners?
IMO, yes. But this should be the company’s decision. The government should stay out of it.
“Ha ha...”
Gee, they whine about equality, then whine when they get it, since they lost preferential treatment.
It’s quite simple. Queers want their many, interchangeable, revolving door butt buddies to be covered by insurance.
Just wait until they have a domestic dispute....
They’ll have to charge them both with a hate crime and mandatory jail time!
Homosexuals are attention hungry, money hungry, lawsuit hungry, drama queens, with the relationship attention span of gnats, introducing all this law, codification of relationships, and legal baggage into their carefree, sex based pick-up world is going to be a bitter wake up call for them.
I've wondered about this. Same-sex "partners" have been getting benefits that opposite-sex partners have been been allowed because they have an opportunity.
More companies will start this as a cost-saving move.
BTW, I always had a proper plan for shack-up babes: You have to have your own job with bennies. No freeloaders. I did that one time, and I felt soiled.
:^)
Even if not recognized by Feds, these people are no better or worse off, by getting married but they would be fulfilling their responsibilities in the states that do recognize their marriage. To do otherwise smacks of trying to get away with something.
I always wondered what prevented someone with a “domestic partner” from being married and having a 2nd wife who was their “domestic partner”.
Hey, hey! They’re not a flock.
The next thing they’ll try to get is the elimination of adultery as grounds for divorce.
You’re right. They will never be satisfied because what they want is to be considered normal. This is impossible. By definition, they are deviants.
