If you are a hetro employee at Staples you can NOT add your hetro life partner to your insurance coverage.

If you are a homosexual and have a homosexual “life partner” you CAN add them to your insurance

I’ve encountered that at several businesses, not just Staples. First time was in Idaho, in 2002, working for EDS (Ross Perot’s company).

When I worked at Staples, I asked why I couldn't add my girlfriend (now wife) to my benefits and gays could. The HR person said that we can get married and gays can't.

I should have said that I think it is wrong...but I didn't say anything. (I was young)
