Had an amusing conversation with a co-worker a little while back. The company I work for provides medical insurance coverage for (1) spouses and (2) same-gender domestic partners.

This co-worker is not gay, and has a live-in fiancee (though they have as-yet no wedding date). He's frustrated that were his girlfriend male (and he claimed her as an "SSDP") she could get coverage, but since she's female and they are not married, she can't. He sees that as a double-standard, and he has a good case.

I chuckled to myself afterward ... society continuing to dumb down marriage in any way it can.
