g*y marriage in Ca. Can my spouse be denied medical benefits if my company offer to heterosexual married cpls?

Question

I am marrying my domestic partner of 8 yrs in California. I wanted to ask if my company can deny my spouse medical benefits in California if it is offered to my heterosexual married co-workers?

Answer 1

California law prohibits discrimination based on both marital status and sexual orientation. If an employer offers benefits to opposite s*x spouses while denying the same benefits to same s*x spouses, they are violating the law.

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Since you are married, I belive you can still get benefits for your spouse, but then again, it all depends on what company

Answer 5
