it's not necessarily by state. City government employees, private businesses etc.

When Gavin Newsome legalized gay marriages on his own, San Francisco immediately moved to get rid of domestic partnership benefits.

It's called cost-savings.

To use a pretty strong analogy, this is a little like the Nazi concentration camp staffers saying, "We have it pretty bad here too, stop complaining!"

Was this an auto reply? It has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. Literally nothing.

Regarding the assertion that lesbians tend to be very monogamous (which was news to me today). I asked my brother about it. And he says, "Have you heard the joke? What does a Lesbian bring to a second date?"

"I don't know," I say.

"A U-haul."

A subculture that I had absolutely no idea about. I wonder if the church is aware of it.
