Actually I would think the next step is for staffers to rent two bedroom apartments then to supplement their income by renting a room along with discounted medical benefits.

For rent: Room in 2 bedroom apartment with shared kitchen.

Walking distance to university transit, heat, HW, no copay Medical and Dental included.

Gender not an issue, no pets, smokers or republicans.

Does oral sex qualify? Can I get benefits for my sheep?

You have oral sex with your sheep? EWE!

TY This really is aggravating. No one has ever offered me special status but seems like half the country is willing to give the sodomists anything they want.

Yeah, many of us reason exactly as you do.

I also note that they are even taking precautions to avoid having the homosexuals declare that they are (so, are they going to use hand signals and puppets or what to declare themselves as homosexuals?), such that they don't want the homosexuals to have to admit they're homosexuals to anyone else to avoid being named as homosexuals...

It's as if there's now an entire alternate universe of double meanings and secret codes. I wouldn't be surprised if they started issueing Homosexual Hand Shakes or something just to "keep it quiet" outside Human Resources and homosexual employees.

But just TRY getting medical leave for a pregnancy, a husband with a broken leg, a child with a fever...

Another symptom of societal illness.

Sometimes even married couples abstain from sexual relations for one reason or another.

What will they need next - a video?

I'm actually a bit more self centered about this, given that I paid for all my college myself by very hard work and a whole lot of deprivation while in full-time college. The whole ordeal...

Self centered in the sense that it cost me nearly my vital essence so many times just to finish and pay all the bills and then I read about yet another MILLION DOLLAR PLUS price tag for a mere 100 or something (article wrote, I now can't recall exact number but I remember it was slight, not like hundreds of thousands of individuals). At student expense because the University isn't just going to pony up the million+ out of faculty donations or reduced prices for gum and candy.

I'm perfectly serious. Black and white people do have sex. Sometimes even together! :^)

Why aren't longtime roomates regarded as committed? Sounds sexist to me.

I missed it then. I guess I'm just slow today (But I've heard women like that sometimes)

It's ok, John O. My point was that sex between partners/spouses isn't black and white. There are all sorts of problems with this issue, i.e. what if one partner is a quadraplegic? What happens then?

University of Florida isn't thinking.

And I went to Florida State, their rival.

OH I got that (And I agree). I guess I was just looking too hard for a humerous undertone.

The ORIGINAL reason argued for non-married but living together benefits was that they might produce children.

Maybe in some instances. In this case, and many others, I get the impression that they had to include hetrosexuals in order to avoid discrimination lawsuits when they included homosexual "partners".

So instead they are getting this "invasion of privacy" thing, as if just applying for the "cohabitation" health insurance wasn't pretty much changing "private" to "not so private" in the first place.

Marriage goes with the presumption of sexual relations.

Seriously, the honeymoon is a "sex vacation" in essence.

You are probably right about this situation including sexually active unmarried normal people.

The interesting question is whether the soon to be passed FL marriage amendment will end this after it passes in NOV.

That will simply end the gravy train for everyone cohabiting for sex. It will just put marriage for insurance back to opposite sex couples.
