Legislation Will Protect Children of Same-Sex Couples

Found on the unitarian_jihad community, and checked and found on the Representative's own site:

Nadler Introduces Equal Access to Social Security Act.

Rep. Nadler works for the Eighth Congressional District of New York, and he has this comment:

“I’ve heard many conservatives say that other than the case of marriage, they don’t want to discriminate against the LGBT community. If they truly don’t want to discriminate, here is their chance to prove it,” Nadler said. “I invite them to co-sponsor my bill to grant social security benefits to same-sex couples. Same-sex couples pay the same taxes as married couples, and they deserve the same Social Security benefits as everyone else.”

I say: Go, Nadler!

Nadler's Bill

He will undoubtedly need to re-introduce this bill after the Democrats retake the House, which will hopefully be this fall. But at least people are starting to move on this stuff.

My company, bless 'em, offers medical benefits to same-sex partners. Pretty good benefits, too. Makes up for some of the mediocre salaries they pay.
