What the hell are you babbling about? Gays and Lesbians are committed to each like YOU may be to your husband or wife. Same thing. Just same gender.

God damn.

I think ignorance is an abnomality. Why? because you are willfully underutilizing your brains natural ability.
You cannot be serious. Being born with birth defects are "well documented in most animals in the animal kingdom, and humans", they occur naturally, but this does not make them normal.

It's unlikely that you have a common-law wife. You can research your state's laws, but few states still have that status.

Common Law Marriage

Which validates SourD's point even more.. They live as husband and wife, but not married.. And yet the OP is denied FMLA but somehow a gay worker, sitting next to him will not be..

And that's what ticks me off.

Let's cater to every lifestyle that'll get us votes.

Unbelievable.

Syringes will be taxed, 'cept for those that are addicted to heroin. And, of course, they're registered Democrats.

it is a question of fairness in the workplace. What is so wrong with giving everyone that works what they are entitled to where they work? rush limbaugh was addicted to pain pills. Last I checked he was a republican unless elton john converted him into a gay democrat.

When you love someone you can do things like that. It also helps she was raised in a morally correct family and agrees with me on most things.
