Michigan Ruling Bars Domestic Partner Benefits

And because Lucy's always better at wording things than I am, I'm just c/ping her comment from her post:

Go on, tell me again those amendments were just about "defining marriage," and not about making life as unwelcoming as possible to gays and lesbians. Tell me again this stuff isn't just flat-out fucking malicious. Tell me what kind of "morality" it takes to actively sue to deny someone health benefits for no reason other than because you apparently don't think they deserve them.

That said, good on the University of Michigan for doing everything to protect its employees, and for seeing the solution as expanding coverage, not limiting it.




And now I think I'll try to stop spamming LJ.

Your post is right after Pet's on my flist, the one she made talking about NY ruling to uphold same sex marriages that were performed in other states and/or countries, which means same sex partners can get benefits. One step forward and two steps back. Makes you wonder if we're ever going to arrive at a place where everyone is treated as a human being.
