If partner benefits are offered to non homosexuals then I see no reason for them to not be offered to all people. Like it or not homosexuals also pay taxes.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could eliminate the employer's tax deduction for non-salary benefits? Then employers would just pay the employees, and the employees (in a perfect world) could buy their own insurance in a free market.
The manipulation of employee-benefits issues for social engineering purposes is very annoying.
As far as I know, "domestic partner" benefits are not offered to normal people, just homosexuals. Heterosexuals have to get married or nothing.

Agreed. It doesn't have to be called marriage, but certainly any reasonable person would believe that homosexuals should at least be able to have their partner at their bedside at the hospital. Benefits is fine by me too. And I find it hard to understand why people would confine children to 'state' institutes that neglect children rather then having homosexuals adopt them. No, I think there are far more important things we could be doing - such as stopping the advance of socialism, then getting all riled up over homosexuality.
