[quote=Anonymous]So I work for a large public school system in Virginia, a state where gay marriage is not recognized. After the Supreme Court ruling in June, I married my partner. We live in DC where our marriage is recognized by Federal govt. According to my employer, my marriage must be to a person of the opposite sex and be recognized by the Federal govt. Seeing as I have fulfilled one of the requirements, I have gone ahead and filed to add my wife to our health plan. (Our children are already on it.)

Knowing that the tide is changing, I am pushing my employer to recognize my marriage before the state has done so. I submitted my request for change 7 weeks ago and received a letter within days saying that they are aware of the recent rulings by the Supreme Court and are seeking legal counsel before making a decision about my request. They did not outright deny the change, just said they were waiting. My question is how long am I expected to wait? What would you do if you were me? My guess is that this is not a situation they want to deal with publicly. What are some possible next steps? Contact a lawyer? Contact the Post? Any advice is appreciated. [/quote]
