Give An Inch, Take A Mile

Now that the government is providing employee benefits to the same-sex spouses of feds, two senators say domestic partners should be included, too. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) have introduced a bill. It would give same-sex domestic partnersaccess to the same benefits as those who are legally married spouses of federal employees. They say the bill would put the government on par with most Fortune 500 companies. Three House members have introduced a similar bill.
