ACLU sues for gays' benefits |
Why would any man need another man to provide him with health care
benefits? The advantage of gay partnerships is that there are no
children at home that need attending. Let each man provide his own
health care, just like single straight people do. This notion that one
guy stays home and plays "Donna Reed" while the other one goes to work
should not become a burden on the American health care system. The
people of Michigan (and many other states) have spoken; No gay
marriage. Stop seeking "special" dispensations just because your
different.
http://www.freep.com/news/mich/gay22e_20050322.htm
Despite marriage ban, couples want health care
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit Monday asking the
courts to protect same-sex couples' health benefits in light of a state
constitutional ban on gay marriage.
In the suit, filed in Ingham County Circuit Court, the ACLU asked the
court to stipulate that the ban on gay marriage does not extend to
health care benefits for same-sex partners. The amendment, they said,
is ambiguous.
The ACLU filed the suit less than a week after state Attorney General
Mike Cox issued his legal interpretation about what effect the
amendment should have on health benefits. He concluded that the
amendment bans government agencies from extending benefits to same-sex
couples in any future contract negotiations.

You think? ;) Anyway, it was from "To Have and Have Not", a
film engendered when Howard Hawks bet Ernest Hemingway that he
could take the worst thing Hemingway ever wrote and make a hit
film out of it. It also has the famous "whistle" scene--"If you
want anything, just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you
Steve? Just put your lips together and blow." Can you tell
that I'm interested in film history? :)

He was also in a show where he played a more serious character. It was a
western where he roamed about with one of his sons looking for the murderer
of another son. I can't remember the name of it.

The name of the series was "The Guns of Will Sonnet", his co stare was
a really good looking guy named Dack Rambo, I think. Someone told

Yeah, that's it. Brennan had his "No brag, just fact" signature line.
That's sad about the co-star.
