On September 18, the Obama Labor Department announced that married same-sex couples must receive the same pensions, 401(k)s, health plans, and employee benefits as heterosexual married couples, regardless of whether they live in one of the 37 states where same-sex marriage is illegal.
"This decision represents a historic step forward toward equality for all American families," said Labor Secretary Thomas Perez. "I have directed the department's agency heads to ensure that they are implementing the decision in a way that provides maximum protection for workers and their families."
The Labor Department said its interpretation "provides a uniform rule of recognition that can be applied with certainty by stakeholders, including employers, plan administrators, participants, and beneficiaries."(continued)

Just wait till bestiality is made a legal form of marriage.
I want to be around when some govt employee asks if his wife (an Ass/Donkey) can get the same benefits as a man and wife couple.
Actually I want to have a videocamera when that happens.
The guy could also say, my Ass is equal to your wife, and has two more legs, to boot.
I could go on for years on the potential of human-animal marriage esp. since we have the second example residing in the White House today.
The first example was Ted “The Cape Cod Orca” and which ever wife he had besides his groupies.
Stop me before I go on! NOT!

“There goes the 10th Amendment.”
I wish that a Governor would tell the Feds to “shove off, or come and arrest me.”
Watching Obama handle Syria and something about watching the Fed cops handle Boston has convinced me that, if you want to succeed in breaking away from the Feds, the time is right now.

“There goes the 10th Amendment.”
___________________________________________________
I sure hope not. This is an outrageous agency edict that has no legal basis other than sheer dictatorial fiat. Obummer has put these queers in power and their irrational inclination is to stick it to normal people in every way they know how. They are not only sick gender wise, they are egotistical maniacs.
