I want to get married more than I want to breathe. I want to get married more than I have ever wanted anything in my whole freaking life. <br /><br />But, I can say this for sure, no matter HOW HARD UP and DESPERATE I get in the marraige department, I am certain I will never pursue a marriage of the homosexual variety. <br /><br />And speaking of the homosexual variety, it really Grinds My Gears that working for the company I work for, means this: homosexuals who have "domestic life partners" are eligible to put their girlfriends or boyfriends on THEIR health insurance plans and life insurance plans and dental insurance plans.....but I AM NOT ALLOWED to do so because my boyfriend and I have not yet gotten married. so, if BR were my husband he could be on my health insurance plan. Or, if I were a homosexual, and had a girlfriend SHE could then be on my health insurance plan......even though homosexual marraiges are still illegal in the state of florida...a homosexual couple is welcome to share health benefits, but heterosexual couples are not. Which I find not only descriminatory, but personally insulting. Its as if the company is implying that those relationships are SO much more stable (or whatever) than MINE is, because they are homosexuals and I am not.<br /><br />I want to sue somebody for descrimination, but I'm not sure where to start.<br /><br />Certainly if they can extend those benefits to umarried homosexual couples, they could extend them to every one else as well.....<br />I mean whats so hard about that??<br /><br />-chefneleChefNelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276971658155884997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13151172.post-3678531290015498672009-05-27T15:01:29.389-04:002009-05-27T15:01:29.389-04:00Just take an idea and run with it, why don't you? ...Just take an idea and run with it, why don't you? <br /><br />Marriage is just a word to quite a lot of people these days, the gay issue aside. As are the other two words you mention. Although, some would argue that freedom is the issue at stake here. <br /><br />It doesn't really matter one way or the other to me. I view marriage as a sacred institution and not a legal contract. Call it what you want. What Lewis and I have is above societal definition. It is far more than what most people think of as "marriage."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
