- Having gay marriages legal would make the job nice and clean. But
- until that happens, what else? Some more progressive companies
- have managed to find ways to word policies that are more equitable,
- others havent taken the time, or found a way. If a way was *given*
- to them, they might try it.

- Yes, do you think smart-alec replies help anything? It's amazing
