Comment on The National: Catholic Charities Goes for Dogma Over Help For Poor by Rebel Girl

Point of clarification: Catholic Charities has never provided “domestic partner” health benefits to anyone, regardless of sexual orientation. What they are planning to do is to stop providing spousal benefits which they were providing to married heterosexual spouses. They plan to “grandfather in” people who are already receiving such coverage but no new employees’ spouses will be covered.

The first effect of this is to create inequality in their workplace in the form of a 2-tiered health insurance system. Eventually it will lead to a family-UNfriendly workplace where no one will get spousal coverage and which will add more people to the ranks of the uninsured.

Thanks for creating and posting this video – despite the fact that it’s extremely difficult to listen to the ignorant and dehumanizing anti-gay rhetoric of those who oppose marriage equality.
