Did you make that up, or did it come in the daily email?

See above.

What homosexuals are asking for is not for the straight couple of Jane and John to cast their heterosexuality aside or to welcome homosexuality into their home, what they are asking for is the privilege considered automatic for John and Jane to be extended to Bob and Joe as well as Janet and Jackie.


If homosexuality is different from heterosexuality, why would they want the same union? Why do they want so badly to be a part of a heterosexual insitution?

Allowing married partners or groups access to medical benefits and so on would be the responsibility of the insurer to levy appropriate premiums for those arrangements. If a company CHOSES to not cover a multiple family, fine. However, they should not be allowed to discriminate based on whether the family involved is "straight" or "gay".


Wow. Okay. So under your system I'd be able to insure everyone on my block under my policy. Pretty cool idea, I guess. I'd probably make a lot of friends under that system.
