Straight Woman denied Domestic Partner Benefits
This is ridiculous. Although the domestic partner law was implemented initially to extend rights to same-sex couples, there is no reason it can't work for straight couples as well. Why say that someone has to be married in order to enjoy the benefits? What are the excuses for not allowing it? Perhaps the two people aren't really romantically involved and are actually just roommates. Well, is that really so horrible? I mean, they COULD be married, and they can't get benefits for more than one partner, so what's the big deal? I just don't get it ...

This is pretty darn cool if you use iTunes a lot!
First Civil Union Dissolved
This is sad, but these things happen. Still, if you look at the last sentence of the article, it looks like only about 1% of civil unions in Vermont have been "dissolved." This is a much better success rate than our straight brethren (what is it, 50% of marriages end in divorce???).
