In my haste to draw the distinctions between the legal positioning of the two cases, I forgot that basic part. Carisa, thanks for the correction.

I wanted to let you know, though, that most of GLAD's plaintiffs in Gill are not federal employees or spouses of same. Some are, including Nancy Gill, the name plaintiff. She's a postal worker who's been denied her attempts to put her wife, Marcelle, on her health plan. Dean Hara is the widower of Congressman Gerry Studds. Dean's denied Gerry's pension and is unable to be on his health plan. Finally, Al Koski is a retired Social Security employee (the irony) whose spouse, Jim, is not able to be on Al's health plan. Our other plaintiffs are widowers who have been denied the federal death benefit; couples who are penalized by being unable to file taxes jointly; and one couple who was unable to get a passport in the spouse's married name - that one's resolved. Stay tuned for further developments! - Carisa Cunningham, GLAD Thanks for this useful compare-and-contrast.
