Rep. Jim McDermott introduced a bill to make employer-sponsored health-care benefits to domestic partners nontaxable, giving them the same status as employer health-insurance plans for married spouses.

McDermott's goal is to "Correct Workplace Injustice," his news release noted, adding in boldface print that his bill is critical for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans. It immediately won support from Microsoft and the Human Rights Campaign, which backs workplace rights for gay couples.
