Domestic Partership Health Benefits
My daughter works for a company that offers domestic partner health care benefits for same sex couples but not opposite sex couples. Now that gay marriage has been approved in California, wouldn't that be considered discriminatory? If a gay couple does not want to marry but prefers to register for domestic partership, will they still be able to do so? Am I correct that a heterosexual couple under the age of 62 cannot register as domestic partners? I agree that EVERYONE should be able to marry regardless of sexual preference but Domestic Partnership should be equal as well.
Re: Domestic Partership Health Benefits
It's an interesting question: If a company offers domestic partner benefits at present, what will happen now that same-sex marriages are permitted in California? Will domestic partner laws be eliminated? It's premature to say so, and the legislature will have to address this. The issue of benefits is very complicated, because federal and state laws collide.
