They believe that "defining marriage" as only between a man and a woman doesn't change anything for homosexuals. They aren't trying to make gays change their lifestyle and it isn't really taking anything away from them. I think that's a bunch of crap!

The only reason to have a law like this is to separate one section of society and tell them that they should not have the same rights and privileges as everyone else. That's discrimination and it's not ok-- no matter what (your) God tells you.

and I can't help wondering if one of the top 10 lobbys in Washington isn't partially responsible. Money talks...louder than votes, unfortunately in this case. The last thing "Big Insurance" wants is to be 'forced' to acknowledge same sex partners, and be 'forced' to cover them as such. I believe insurance is behind the push for 'keeping marriage between male and female.'

Mormon Church. And there are ongoing protests outside the main Mormon facility here in LA since the prop. passed. I may go join them.

But in CO, all the places I've worked have offered insurance to domestic partners whether you're married or not. So that's at least the Colorado arms of Kaiser and Aetna. I do try to work for good companies though. :)
