This was sent out in our Open Enrollment brochure for our healthcare plans:
Recently the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex mar-riages in California. Conse-quently, the CSU has created new enrollment procedures for benefits programs.
Effective June 16, 2008, the CSU will accept any valid marriage certificate issued in California. The certificate is used to confirm marital status in order to enroll an eligible spouse in health, dental and vision coverage.
The CSU is required to determine whether a marriage is a same-sex or opposite-sex marriage for purposes of the imputed taxation. To comply with this requirement, all employees enrolling a spouse in benefits must submit a "Gender Verification of Married Persons and Notice of Imputed Tax" affi-davit. This form is available in Benefits Services located in Brot-man Hall 353.
I was laughing my ass off. I'd have to verify that indeed my husband does have a penis!!! Gosh, should I enclose a picture for proof? hehehehe

This is one of the reasons that the UK don't do "marriages" for gay people... it's just too bloody complicated. Instead they have a "Civil Partnership" - carries the same legal weight as a marriage but without the Religious overtones that are still apparently so necessary in this country. What the hell does "Imputed" mean anyway? Surely if they now allow same sex marriages and they're legally the same as marriages, then there should be no tax differences between them?!
Yes, most definitely send them a picture as proof... but refuse to send one of yourself just to keep them guessing.
What? This is a joke, right? You now have to prove gender??!! Hmmm .... that could be loads of interesting trouble. Physical gender? Natal gender? Psychological gender? How weird.
