I was going over our 2011 benefits package from my husbands work and I was so happy to see they have added same sex domestic partner coverage!! It doesn't affect me personally but it makes me happy to see the progress towards respecting and recognizing the important relationships in people's lives. Yay!!
Now if the government and bigoted voters would just get over themselves or die off already. I really can't fathom any reason that society in this country still refuses to recognize same sex marriage. Or allow gay service members to serve openly. I can't even fathom how awful it would be to have to hide something as important as my spouse/lover/partner/polygamous group whatever people define themselves as. Loving relationshps which hurt no one shouldn't be something to be ashamed of. How degrading.
Anyway, that's all I had to say. Nice to at least see private sector progress.

We are making progress. Private religious morality cannot legitimately be forced on others as public policy. If we are not sovereign and equal in something as basic and personal as our sexuality (consent being a necessary given), we still have a long way to go to fulfill the ideals of the American Revolution.
