GENDER BENDING MARRIAGE RIGHTS: From the Washington Blade

...MY PARTNER AND I are legally married, and we are both women. We married back in a time, nearly 12 years ago, when we still looked like a nice heterosexual couple.

Unfortunately, things get sticky now that we are a legal same-sex couple, existing on the fringes of matrimony during the great marriage war of ’04.

When we tried to get insurance coverage for me on her company benefits, we faced a merry-go-round. You see, for spousal coverage, they require a man and a woman. The company does provide coverage for domestic partners, which is great--except for us to take advantage, we had to file DP paperwork that we cannot legally fill out. There is no third option.
