United Parcel Service is the latest firm to deny health care coverage to civil-union partners in New Jersey, Newark's Star-Ledger newspaper reported.

Although the company gives employee partner benefits to married gay and lesbian couples in Massachusetts, it denies coverage to their New Jersey counterparts because state law there does not call them "spouses."

Just one of the more than 1,100 federal rights gained by marriage that we are denied.
