GC, there is a difference between what you are talking about - benefits to domestic partners - and marriage.

Being not gay, I don't know, so this isn't meant to be rhetorical at all.....aren't domestic partner benefits pretty common now - probably the norm, at least among larger corporations?

Sceagles, larger corporations, I think some, yes. But on a state by state basis, not at all. Don't laugh, NC, to name one. I know because one of my dearest friends and her partner do not have a law on the books for benefits for domestic partners.

I need to check LAMBDA and GLAAD

You didn't answer my question. Would you stay at that company?

With the Federal Marriage Amendment Palin supports it all goes away.

When I signed up for a Domestic Partnership with Ralphie, the government taxed him for it. The benefits that I was allotted were considered additional income for Ralphie. It's not the same thing as a marriage recognized by the government, there are rights you and your wife enjoy that JWBear and his partner can't.

I read LAMBDA as NAMBLA and was scared for a moment.

It's because you have no idea how many times some close-minded people in this country still associate homosexuality with pedophilia and then lead others with that fear. It's one of the many ways homosexuals are vilified. It doesn't sit well with me.

There are reports of a woman being attacked in PA because she was a McCain supporter, but I believe it was faked. There's a pic of her on the drudge report and the "B" that they supposedly carved in her face for "Barack" is backwards. Unless somehow the photo got flipped or something.
