So we can care for our partners children but not for our partner?

A tiny and particularly wobbly baby step, considering that family leave isn't extended for care of samesex partners. I guess they can justify it because, after all, it is for THE CHILDREN!!!!

And, unless I'm very wrong, this baby step can be very easily reversed when President Palin takes office in 2013.

"How's that "Family Leave" thing workin' for you, Homos?"

Wow President Palin... Truly scary but I am seeing it more and more becoming a possibility.
