niversity of Florida employees have to pledge that they're having sex with their domestic partners before qualifying for benefits under a new health care plan at the university.

I predicted this like 15 or 20 years ago when people first started grumbling about benefits for same sex "partners". It's the only logical outcome. Now the next step is for long time heterosexual roomates to apply for benefits, make it obvious that they're heterosexual and then challenge the the University to prove that they're NOT having sex. When they investigate, sue the pants off them for not applying the same standards to married people and gay partnerships. If they're going to investigate one, they're going to have to investigate everyone.

The "old" way, married men and women, was the most defensible policy legally.

Read the rest of the article it does apply to both homosexual and heterosexual coupes who sign up for Domestic partnership benefits.

"The partners of homosexual and heterosexual employees are eligible for coverage under UF's plan, which will take effect in February. The enrollment process began this month, and some employees have expressed concern about an affidavit that requires a pledge of sexual activity"

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.
