A quick did you know...

There is large number of people in the US that 'consider' themselves married(Have property, have kids, bills, etc...) but are not married 'legally' for tax reasons.

Cool!

I just finished doing my annual enrollment for the benefits package... and my company makes sure to put several times....

"*** requires a legal union between one man and one woman to be considered as a husband and wife (“spouse”) under the terms of our plan."

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
