Blue Cross of Michigan gives same-sex partner bennies to small businesses

This is a decision that will likely change what benefits are available at my workplace.

(The article includes a doozy of a quotation from a guy from the state branch of our old friends, the American Family Association.)

The thing I found amusing in this is that unmarried straight couples don't have the coverage. Why can't we just have national healthcare that covers everybody and not have to screw around with this petty crap?

And Gary Glenn can suck my dick. What an asshole!

Good point! I don't think people should get financial or health or tax benefits one way or the other for whom they are or aren't fucking, however faithfully/long-term.

Exactly! Although it certainly isn't bad that Blue Cross Michigan is extending bennies. Baby steps.
