While this would appear to be what advocates of same-sex marriage want, there may also be unintended consequences. Currently, many of these same companies already provide domestic partner benefits for employees with same sex partner in states where cannot legally marry. Hence, more ideas on gay marriage and beyond.Īs same-sex marriage becomes increasingly legal in various states, more companies require that their employees become legally married in order for their partners to qualify for health insurance. However, I also think it is important to be flexible and open to new ideas and discussions any all controversial issues. I have long been a supporter of gay marriage and the rights of LGBT folks to have the same rights as the rest of us.
