Hello. When Obama signed the Bill for same-sex partners to be able to have...

...federal health benefits,? did he include heterosexual domestic partners who are not married as well? I don't think heterosexuals should be able to have benefits if they are not married, because they have the right to get married, and gays do not in most states.
 
As far as I know it only applies to gay couples but I'm not sure on that. Unfortunately your question overstates what he did. It's not a bill, its a "presidential memorandum" which won't have any effect on the law beyond the end of the Obama administration. Also the benefits are extremely limited, the only health care covered is for for long term illnesses. There's nothing for ordinary health care, survivors benefits etc. It's a crumb so he can say he did something on the issue. If heterosexual couples where eligible I doubt anyone would bother anyway.
