I was on the phone with a friend this evening and we had a conversation in regards to same sex marriage how she supports it by legalizing it, but I am the opposite. I don’t care if you gay/lesbian but I do not believe in same sex marriage. Yes, some companies do not include their significant other/partner in the insurance coverages. She told me about her instructor who is gay and her partner was involved in an accident and almost in a vegetable state. She was sent to a nursing home by the girl’s parents after she came out from her coma, where I suppose in a nursing home they do not have to purchase incontinence supplies. Because there was no insurance coverage provided for the instructor’s girlfriend, this poor girl had to stay in the cheapest nursing home and now that she is living with the instructor who is caring for her occupational and physical therapies, she is able to walk and move her arms.
I still think that companies nationally should include the employees’ partners to the benefits package, but do not pass the damn law to legalize the marriage – so that they can “have” kids which I have read in the news that many gay couples are doing now. But isn’t it weird, as a child to be brought up with a pair of parents of the same sex? My coworker and I had this conversation before since our company has this employee resource group for the gay/lesbian and trans-gender, we two totally disagree with congress passing the law on same sex marriage. I know some states has this law passed, California as one of them, and I think Maryland, too. And if the Democrats wins the Prez election, we will definitely won’t be seeing this same sex marriage thingy. Anyways, my thoughts do not worth a cent…..
