Obama to OK benefits for same-sex partners of federal workers

President Obama will sign a memorandum Wednesday granting health care and other benefits to the same-sex partners of federal employees. I believe that same sex partners should not discriminated against. They are human beings just like everyone else and they should have the same rights as everyone else. Homosexuals should not be discriminated against just because of their sexual preference.

  1. i actually dont like the whole homosexul thing but i do think people have been given free will to do what they please. however when will sexual prefrence go even further? at one point homosexuality was considered a mental deect, same as pedophilia, will we onday view those people as just an alternative lyfestyle aswell? when you attempt to make everybody equal you will never win.

  2. You are right to in that that underlining issue is homosexuality. While some find it easy to reduce a homosexual individual to something a base. They are still human beings entitled to the same consideration. If you saw an individual walking down the street and they suffer a stroke you could not decern there sexual preference and would naturally offer them care. It seems that only the one factor has changed and what truely matters is constant.

  3. I think this is not fair for the fact of this being for federal employees. If your going to give benefits to gay couples you have to be fair and give them to all. The people are going to protest against this. I hate to do a logical fallacy but this is going to cause all gay couples to get the same benefits.
