NY LAWSUIT OVER CANADIAN SSM: From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

A Monroe Community College employee is suing the college and Monroe County for not extending health care benefits to her same-sex partner.

The litigation joins an array of similar suits around New York pushing the legal issue of how the Empire State is going to recognize gay civil unions or marriages performed in other states or countries. It is the first such suit filed in Monroe County. ...

Martinez, 49, is a word-processing supervisor. She and Lisa Ann Golden have been a couple since 2000, according to the suit. Their relationship was formalized in a civil union in Vermont in 2001 and a marriage in Canada in 2004, Martinez said.
