Not a whole lot, just the label of prejudiced. Think about it, if the state recognizes gay marriage, it would benefit from the extra tax money that the so-called marriage penalty would produce. I think not. Supporters of the initiative claim that the rights of homosexuals will not be infringed with the passage of this law. I beg to differ.
Many companies have benefits packages that provide support for the employee s spouse.
Since the word spouse connotes a married partner, partners of homosexual employees are out of luck unless they work for a company that gives benefits to domestic partners. Supporters, too, fixate on the fact that visitation rights won t be affected either. That s good, but that really wasn t an issue since it s always been up to the hospital. They go on and on about this issue to make sure that the public won t find out about the other unfair results. Call me na ve, but I thought homosexuals were people just like the rest of the human race.
