So, you say you don’t see any discrimination against gay people?
Oh, boy… are you in for a laugh.
The Human Rights Campaign today condemned Home Depot, Sprint, Ecolab and Waste Management — all Fortune 500 companies — for offering their employees pet insurance but not domestic partner health insurance.
“Paying for a parrot’s but not a person’s hospital stay is absurd,” said HRC President Cheryl Jacques. “This is no joke. Employees deserve better from these companies.”
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I won’t make any comment about the motives of these companies in valuing dogs and cats over human beings, they could well have just not realized the ridiculous irony.
On the other hand, maybe if the domestic partner were to agree to neutering, they’d cover it.
