Effective Sunday the travel benefits available to employees will be expanded to include the gay partners of retirees. Continental already offers travel benefits to employees, allowing them to designate a travel companion, which can include same-sex domestic partner.
And benefits like health insurance have been available at Continental for domestic partners of employees for several years.
