Clinton: Benefits to same-sex couples is the "right thing to do."


Advance snaps and claps to Secretary of State Clinton with news that she will extend benefits to all unmarried partners (including same sex partners!) in a shift in policy for Foreign Service members.

"Historically, domestic partners of Foreign Service members have not been provided the same training, benefits, allowances, and protections that other family members receive. These inequities are unfair and must end," Clinton writes in the memo. "At bottom, the department will provide these benefits for both opposite-sex and same-sex domestic partners because it is the right thing to do."

Will this put good karma in the air for today's Prop 8 decision? Our fingers and toes are crossed!
