Let's be part of the solution
 

Time to do the right thing!

As stated in the Richmond Times-Dispatch: "It is about keeping our universities competitive nationally -- and our commonwealth having the decency to enable our employees to buy this coverage."

Not far from here, in the District of Columbia, "Domestic partners are eligible for health care insurance coverage, can use annual leave or unpaid leave for the birth or adoption of a dependent child or to care for a domestic partner or a partner's dependents, and can make funeral arrangements for a deceased partner",  according to the DC Department of Health, Vital Records Division.

What are we waiting for? Respectfully,

Mane Pada
