That makes me really upset.... So even in states like California (where I know we have offices) that have LEGAL GAY MARRIAGE... the partner would not be able to get the benefits because it specifically defines "between one man and one woman".

Or what about the states that have civil unions, or domestic partnerships?? This is def. discrimination by my employer... and with over 8,000 people that work for this company.. I wouldnt expect this because most large corporations offer "partner" benefits

i bet you could sue. take that effer all the way to the supreme court!

I can tell ya that the thing I dislike about all this the most is these Mormons from Utah sending checks here to try to make an impact on how people in another state vote. I despise them. It's never enough for them to live as their religion says. They have to try to make other people conform to their beliefs. You let them have small stuff like this, and eventually they will end up acting like those Moslem Savages.


Before you people freak out about that noun, I will define it.

Savage:
1 : a person belonging to a primitive society
2 : a brutal person
3 : a rude or unmannerly person

They all fit. Don't lie.

i'm sorry, i must have read your post too quickly and missed something.
and yeah, it's a shame that a cali issue has been made a national issue...but then again, if it provokes both sides supporters, maybe it isn't so bad. it's also why-maybe-they shouldn't call it a state issue. it impacts all u.s. citizens. this whole ridiculous notion of some having rights, while others don't, is total hogwash and anathema to what our basic principles are supposed to be. why can't people get that? probably because people who think they're 'normal' haven't yet been attacked for a perceived difference-yet. but i bet they'd want someone backing them up when they get attacked, are told they're different, therefore the rules are different!
