benefits. This is sort of a big deal because I am self-employed and pay insane amounts for my policy, but that isn't even what I am talking about now.  

The idea that I will be legally covered under a gay legal spouse's insurance still blows my mind.  Ten years ago only a few private companies were starting to do it, and in most of the country it still isn't done.  I am so lucky.

(Yes, this will make taxes nightmarish since I will be married for state and single for federal, and the income numbers won't match which triggers a virtually automatic yearly audit). But I am very glad to have equal rights at least in my own state.

That is a huge deal.  I'm glad that some parts of the country are going in the right direction - it gives me hope that the rest of us will catch up someday soon.

Now we just have to hope that it doesn't take the rest of the country too long to catch up!

You're so lucky! Too bad you have to put up with audits, but that's great.

My sister pays a ton for insurance and would love to be added to her partner's policy instead. Ohio stinks like that.
