The American Automobile Association (AAA) has started recognizing families consisting of same-sex partners as a real family (imagine that!) and that move has the anti-gay organization AFA fired up – again. AAA has stated that the company will provide the same membership and discounts for gay married couples as they do for straight married couples.
Equality Florida is asking everyone to send a letter of support to AAA thanking them for their support. The AFA is asking its anti-gay followers to write AAA and ask them to “reverse their policy recognizing homosexual couples as if they were ‘married’ for purposes of AAA Family Memberships.”
Someone help me understand how AAA’s decision is hurting married heterosexual couples. I think I’m a fairly intelligent person but I’ll need your help with that one.

AAA is now on my Super Company list – basically, I just still the Baptists and AFA and so fourths list of people they hate and declare my undying, loyal support.
Jay, I know, right!? AFA makes it easy for us to figure out which companies we want to support. We simply support everyone they hate. LOL!
I’m confused too Genia. I don’t know how giving same-sex couples the same family discounts as straight couples is hurting anyone. The AFA sounds really hateful.
If we have the same rights as heterosexual couples then you would not be able to tell who your enemies are. The age old practice of singling out a group for hate is important to maintain the 'we are better' balance.
I've been a member of AAA of southern california since I could drive. Feels good that they are an ally! Thank-u for sharing this !!! (CA issued my license at 16 – that was 40 years + ago…)
