Now that New York has passed a law allowing same-sex couples to marry, some companies are changing their policies regarding the benefits that they give to same-sex couples. According to multiple reports (such as http://bit.ly/m1kKjt), companies such as IBM and Raytheon will soon require same-sex employees to marry their same-sex partners in order to receive benefits for their same-sex partners.
Is this discrimination? It depends on whether opposite-sex couples are required to marry to get the benefits and if the benefits given to each kind of couple are the same, among other factors. However, given these companies' history of inclusiveness, it seems unlikely.
However, if you feel like you have been discriminated against based on your sexual orientation, age (over 40 years old), gender, race, national origin, disability, complaints of discrimination, or other factors, consult an attorney. I am always happy to hear your story and determine if you may have a case.
Nice to see, that was a interesting article.
