I work for a large Corporation and have to put up with that type junk also. About a year ago on our Compnay internet news site they welcomed a new VP to a New York division and mentioned how her and her "life partner" (insert second woman's name here) were moving to NYC.
I also was at the mfg. facility of a major electronics maker this past year where they had a bulletin board display celebrating Gay and Lesbian month. Arghhhhhh!!!

No, sadly, you've not seen it all. Just wait til they start firing or passing over straight employees to hire and/or promote non-straights to comply with federal court orders. Its coming. Those who fail to remember the past are doomed to repeat it.
All Americans have a right to work and to recieve benefits. That goes without saying. But playing favorites to appease some court order is wrong. But... its coming.
