President Obama has decided to add benefits to federal employees in same-sex relationships--a huge leap for those within the gay community.
These benefits include everything from child care to family leave. Now, "domestic partners" are being classified as family, offering a range of new benefits. For example, federal employees may receive relocation benefits that are currently only offered to married couples.
However, those in the gay community must continue to fight if they desire family health coverage for partners--a move that will require a Legislative action, unlike Obama's previous initiatives.
