From the files of the “Be careful what you ask for” department:
On January 1, 2005, gays/lesbians (and many straight unmarried couples) must be married in order to keep their partners’ health benefits.
Several leading employers in Massachusetts are eliminating their benefits packages which had been extended to homosexual couples. Because these benefits weren’t provided to unmarried heterosexual couples living together, they felt it would be discriminatory to continue providing them to unmarried homosexual couples.
There are now, according to FoxNews, several groups arguing that it is unfair because the decision to marry is harder for homosexuals.
My thought on that is…..”That’s pretty damn funny!”
