Nope, keep em in. I currently work for the Head of Global Comp and Benefits at Mastercard. We provide fertility treatments - once a year I think - as part of healthcare. My husband is Head of HR for his company, and they provide it one time.

Every company I have worked for in the NYC metro area has provided same-sex benefits. Mastercard does as well. The amount of money we spend on those benefits is negligible compared to all the other costs. There is no reason from a business/cost perspective - especially at a large, international company - to not provide same-sex benefits. Perhaps your friend in Atlanta (anyone thirsty for a Coke perhaps?) is allowing his personal beliefs to cloud his judgement - and the market data for that matter.
