[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 323977, member: 5938"] tooner hit it right when she mentioned norms. Social norms are how the majority of people feel and how they behave. These norms are constanly changing - just look at history. It's a very slow change, taking many generations. Not so long ago homosexuality was considered a mental disorder. It has since been removed from the DSM3R (? book of mental disorders) and many folks are accepting it or coming out. It is slowy becoming acceptable but not yet the norm. Many people still feel that nature inteneded for man and woman to join and reproduce. I feel that way and always will. However, the younger generation doesn't hesitate to accept homosexuality and think nothing of it. I work with gays, have friends in that group and don't look down on them one bit. It's their choice and doesn't have any impact on how I feel about them. As a baby boomer I've come a long way from how I was raised to feel about it. In the future, as younger generations come into power, gay marriage will probably be recognized. At that point insurance coverage will be a no-brainer. But until that time comes insuring an unmarried partner is going to cause a ruckus. I agree with stringerman that marriage needs to come first. [/QUOTE]
