What I learned yesterday.
IF gay & lesbian partners are covered under their partners' insurace:
1. the insurance company may charge more b/c they are not recognized as "married" under federal law
2. those benefits are then taxed as income, unlike married couples.
My friend had her excitement at benefits turn to huge sticker shock when she ended up owing and extra $2000 in taxes. Surprise! :(
In the United States of Ameria.
One of the 1000+ benefits that gay couples are denied because that cannot legally married.
