People can do whatever they please. but dont tell this taxpayer that just because your are a boy/girl friend of a civil service employee, you are entitled to benefits and fringes and healthcare that are traditionally provided to legally married couples. now if gay marriage is legal in your state, then its the law, but since when does a boy/girl friend have the right to fringe benefits from an emmployer?

how uncompetitive is that going to make America? suppose the overgenerous federal government includes the overgenerous retirement benefits in the package too?

gimme a break. how about we include polygamy as well?

and vet bills....do they pay the vet bills for those whose loving relationships are, uh, cross-species? If not, why not?

More back-door (pun intended) socialism. What a surprise.

There could be more to this. It will not surprise me if a lot of gays seek out these jobs just for the coverage. Once employed, they are very hard to terminate. That could mean that even if a more conservative gov'y becomes elected, there will always be an undercurrent of leftwingers remaining in influential positions throughout our gov't.

Not a good thing...

Oh great, another way to spend more money that we don't have. Unless the State Department has changed over the last dozen or so years it could be a sizable budget hit too.
