Soundd like it was inequitable to begin with inequitable to begin with.
Why would unmarried homo sexual partners that are not married be getting benefits well heterosexual couples we're not?
We are dealing with liberals progressives. If our laws do not reflect their ideology, their desires, and the people refuse to enact those laws, then the libs just make it legal anyway.
Our legal process and rule of law do not matter to the left. Just look to Obama, he invalidates, alters or ignores the laws he does not like, and implements orders to create permissions for unlawful acts that he wishes were legal, and to hell with our Constitutional and legal process.
The thing is, they were not offering these benefits to the couples of men and women back then, so it was wrong then, just as much as it's wrong today.
So what's next, offering the same benefits to plural couples, because we are not enlightened enough as a society to legalize plural marriages?
Uh, you don't understand why? Gay marriage was illegal. Gays could not get married. So, because of that, unmarried couples were allowed benefits. Heteros could get married. Therefore, unmarried heteros were not allowed the benefits. Now, marriage is legal for gays as well. Therefore, there is no need to allow benefits for unmarried couples since they now can marry. It's not hard to understand, in the least.
In my experience most/many companies give domestic partners benefits, married or not, straight or gay. El Paso had this until a Christian coalition got a ballot measure passed limiting benefits to legally married spouses - but this was overturned.
So, what I get to, is now everybody has to get married? Or potentially lose benefit money because that is only reserved for married people? That benefit pot is not bottomless. The amount available for benefits is not limitless. And exactly why the benefits anyway? Just for starters, the little lady has been out of the kitchen and laundry for like what now? 40 years?
I propose a benefit for singles be made law of the land as well. Just to make sure things are fair and even.
Obviously these courts and their decisions are driven by divorce lawyers - who essentially operate as "lobbyists" and are interested in boosting their business. And the sucker, so-called "fair" judges just go along. What utter silliness!

Yes, gay marriage was illegal, so a state giving gay couples benefits just because you wish gay marriage was legalized is wrong. Who is to say all gay couples would marry even if it were legal?
By your logic, we should hand out benefits to plural couples, because plural marriage is not legal yet, and some people in government wish it were.
Two siblings living together should get benefits, because if it were legal they would marry too?
Totally agree with this decision. And gays thought it was fair to exclude heterosexual unmarried partners. Hows it feel to be found equal now. Your hardly being discriminated against and dont have a leg to stand on. Just get married!
Zero gay couples are outraged by this, so you can simmer down with your self-righteous nonsense.
