"Providing Federal employees with domestic partner benefits will bring us a significant step closer to the principle of equality under the law."

"Simply put, end to end, extending benefits to same-sex partners is a good, sound business decision."

"Just as important, this bill shows that we recognize the value of every American family and are committed to the ideal of equal treatment under the law that our Founding Fathers envisioned."
