The world’s largest and most successfull corporations (Microsoft, Disney, IBM, Coke, United Airlines, Ford, etc.) have for years recognized same-sex couples and provided them health care and other benefits.
President Obama just signed a presidential memorandum extending some of these benefits to the same-sex partners of federal workers – and congress seems to be close to extending to them all of the same benefits currently enjoyed by heterosexual couples.
It’s about damn time.
