"Now Dubya, do you really think the liberal courts should tell a copmany how to offer their product.If you feel so strong about this, start your own health ins. co. for gay / lesbians. I do not think you will find anyone objecting. The problem here is the liberal courts are making a rule for state employees. Guess what is coming next. Same for both private and public co's. Surprised this was not a Mass. or Calf. case"
No one is trying to tell a company how to offer their product. And the problem is not liberal courts. The problem is discrimination. There's no more reason to start an insurance company for gays then there is to start one for people who wear striped ties. It still wouldn't be affordable. You can't hide behind the rule that says "only if you're married" if you won't let them marry. If you're honest, you'll simply admit that you don't care whether your fellow human beings can have the same benefits you enjoy.
