The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that because of a 2004 amendment to their state constitution that it is illegal for employers to provide benefts to same-sex partners.

This includes health care and other related benefits.

I don’t even live in Michigan and this pisses me off! Seriously people, what is this world coming to when you can’t even give something as simple as HEALTHCARE to the person who you love and share your life with.

Honestly, I can’t see how anyone in Michigan, or this entire country, can think that this is OK. The bottomline is that 2 lesbians in love or 2 gay men in love..their relationship and their lives have ZERO effect on anyone else…..they do not effect anyones lives or relationships………..and the only thing they are portraying in the world is LOVE. Since when has love became such a bad word?

I’d like for every married heterosexual person to take a moment and think about your relationship, think about your struggles, think about your happiness, think about things you argue about, think about things you agree on….think about it……….think about how much you love your wife or husband, think about how you’d do anything for your wife or husband, think about how much you care about your wife or husband……. Everything you just thought about is EXACTLY what gay and lesbian couples think about too.

Now, please look at your husband or wife and imagine how you would feel if you state said that you could NOT provide something as simple as healthcare to your partner!!! How does that feel??

It’s absolutely ridiculous that the people of Michigan or any other state that has such an amendment in their state constitution, would actually ALLOW SUCH A THING TO OCCUR!!!! Each and every one of you that allowed such discrimination into your state constitituion seriously ought to be ashamed of yourselves!

You don’t have to be gay or lesbian to be outraged by your state constitution taking AWAY peoples rights instead of PROTECTING THEM! It’s absolutely pathetic. I just hope that Pennsylvania doesn’t make things even worse in their state with the SB 1250 bill they are trying to pass…….

Do we have anyone from Michigan who would like to comment on this? How about any straight folks? I want to hear what folks have to say…..am I the only non-Michigan person who is this pissed off by this ruling???
