go sweden

[rmd]

the swedish parliment ruled that married gay couples can be just like single people and het couples and can apply to adopt kids. this includes one partner being able to adopt the other partner's kids.

very cool.

the vote was 198 to 38 with 71 abstentions.

Now for America to stop with dumb stuff!!!

Like one comedian said: Let them get married... they should have the right to have their Shit divided up like the rest of us. ;)

I didn't seem to get that across as funny has he said it :S

my company recently included domestic partner coverage for dental insurance. when they gave us medcal and not dental, i wrote to head of HR and asked if someone stood up in a meeting and declared they drew the line at teeth, that gay teeth didn't deserve the same respect as straight teeth, and what were the parameters they used to come to that conclusion or if perhaps it was simply a case of give us enough to shut us up but not the full monty. i reminded her they once treated working women that way and asked her what the life experiences that led her to think treating gay people the same unfair way was ok. and that as far as saving money goes, they'd save a hell of a lot more leaving straight people out because those people were much more likely to have dependents but of course they'd never stand for being left out of a policy. they quickly put dental in. why hasn't someone sued the IRS for discrimination? wouldn't the tax thing be a good way to get the gov't to recognize it?
