@raphjd: hXXp://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2010/10/14/benefits-pets/ Due to DoMA, US federal employees can get partly funded pet insurnce, but they can not get insurance for gay/lesbian partner. While Obama has repeatedly made promises to repeal DoMA {and DADT, and pass ENDA} he and his administration are on their 4th defense of DoMA.  In previous defenses, they said that gays do not deserve marriage because gay relationships were no better than incest, bestiality and pedophilia. With friends like Obama, who needs enemies. Reasons why I like Canada. For years issues of that nature have never been an issue. In fact, not only do all insurance converage companies acknowledge and honour a same-sex partner benefit, but I am living proof that it is legally permissible to marry an individual of the same sex (at least in Canada).

It would be very interesting snooping into the sex lives of those responsible for throwing the petrol bombs 

Great news for the tea-baggers; bad news for us actual tea-baggers. 

i don't think i could sleep for 32 hours. good for them, and i wish them all the best. leave it to two men to break any pairs' records. 

@mgr: I guess I won't be alive any longer when (if ever) this goal is reached :cry2::cry2: In this case you'll be up there, nodding your head because that goal has finally been reached, wishing "good luck" to the future generations  :hug2:

@martini20: @farkme: could be interesting! lol at the customers offended with mile high matrimony - no i think its more to do with the fact that theyre bigots and its gays getting married, lol Probably more to do with people being crammed into steerage class while there's a party going on in Business Class so what the firm is allowed to do whatever they want, the people that would complain are those that cannot afford business class

@beercan: "So while we certainly want to be compassionate and understanding, we must be true to who we are." that really feels like they're admitting that they are neither compassionate nor understanding. I pity the kids having to suffer through the diocese decisions… hope they don't adopt the narrow mindedness of the school in the process. i would definatly file for constructive dismissal

i would tell them to go and bible bash somewhere else

I don't know about Russia's rules for internal adoptions {Russians adopting Russian kids}, but they have don't allow single people outside of Russia to adopt the kids.

I don't know if this true of all 50 states, as they all have different rules, but Prop 8 started as a petition.  Once it got enough signatures, it was placed on the ballot. The people of California then voted on it and 52% voted in favor of hate.

That's pretty cool for him to do that.
