If someone took action to legally make it so my spouse wasn't eligible to be covered under my health insurance

Any chance you could name for me one single insurance company that denies domestic-partner benefits?
At the time that Pence was banning gay couples from being married in Indiana? Several. Brad Wilson, the CEO and Preisident of Blue Cross Blue Shield put out a statement dated Jan. 29th 2014 revising their practice of not covering same sex marriages or domestic partners and began to cover them effective March 1, 2014.
Thanks.

A survey of employee benefits done by the IFEBP found that from 2014 to 2016, the percentage of employers that provided benefits to same sex partners in legally recognized civil unions fell from 51% to 31%.

Once all states were forced to allow same sex marriage in 2015, they have done away with many of their rules and rights provided to civil unions. And 51% most certainly was lower than what you likely assumed it was.

Indeed it was.

this is a joke, right?

his stance on marriage isn't in a vacuum. why would his other views/legislative support not matter and be taken into account?
It's the argument of the theory while ignoring the practical impact.

I dont give a shit what Pence's motivations are or what label to assign to his official stance. The application of his stance results in US citizens being denied legal statuses that other US cirizens do have the right to for no other reason than their sexual preference. That's discriminatory and in my opinion, not what the founders of our nation had in mind when they declared that all men are created equal.
The application of Pence's stance doesn't result in anything.

Moreover, let's be perfectly accurate here, the application of Mike Pence's and Barack Obama's stance...
except it's no longer Obama's stance, and wasn't for the majority of the time he was in office

but you know that

And when I hear sound of hoofed animals running, somewhere near the Saratoga racetrack in mid August, I could assume that I am hearing a bunch of migrating gnus. Or, one could go with the simpler explanation that Mike Pence is a bigot.

I thought Obama's point of view was that he was personally against gay marriage for religious reasons but had no history of or intent to legislate based on that, whereas Pence has taken it to that next level. That's a significant distinction.

I would hope it happens before Trump is impeached.

Give him time to have me sworn in as Veep.

So when Trump is impeached will the mainstream media be as mean and nasty towards the GOP as they are now?

Why do you care? Isn't that all fake news? That's what you've been telling us for the last 10 years.
