Why do gays need a Mayo clinic? I thought they just used KY Jelly.

Did you see RT Rybak is all excited to perform some ‘marriages’ after midnight tonight?
The paper said he’s and “ordained universalist”.

Not going to be handy for the Gay sect. They change partners like they change underwear.

Guequierre said a key concern is that couples who are forced to marry in Minnesota to get health benefits might move to state where their marriage is not recognized.No, the key concern of the pink mafia is that by being subject to the same marriage laws as normal heterosexual people that there will be real legal consequences for screwing around outside said marriage. They only want the benefits without the consequences.

Austin-based Hormel Foods is going a different route. The company hasn't offered same-sex domestic partner benefits before, but will begin to do so starting Jan. 1 -- whether a couple is married or not. Isn't this discrimination against opposite-sex domestic partners who are not married?
To: rhema
interesting to see that gay activists aren’t really that eager to get married.
Can someone explain why Minn. homosexuals would avoid getting married because they might eventually move to a state which doesn’t recognize their marriage? How does that make sense?
To: rhema
I can understand the logic....they will cover married people, and up until now, same sex "domestic" partners because they couldn't marry legally...now that they can, they must in order to get married benefits...
how dare these companies deny rights to unmarried opposite gender "domestic" partners...if the liberal gays are right, then ANY two can make a couple...a father and son, a father and his dtr...two sisters...two brothers..

I am imagining the looks on the faces of gays when they find out that their relationship doesn’t get benefits now, unless they are married.
hahaha

Not true of all. You’re generalizing.

"The Mayo Clinic has offered benefits to same-sex domestic partners since 2000. The Mayo Clinic does not provide benefits for opposite-sex couples in domestic partnerships."How did this go unnoticed or unchallenged for thirteen years?

Well that solves the little problem of how they deny benes to shacked-up straight couples and yet stay out of court.

File this one in the "Yeah, sure you were" folder:
News of the new policy caught Vangie Castro by surprise. Her partner works at Mayo Clinic and they rely on the clinic for health insurance. Castro, who lives in Rochester, said they wanted to be able to take their time planning a wedding and not feel rushed into it because of health benefits.
"It's not that we're not going to get married. We'd just like to take our time," she said.

Who wants to bet there will now be lawsuits to delay this requirement indefinitely?
