See's Candies Shuts Doors instead of Equal Benefits to Gays

The See's Candies store in San Francisco's Union Square closed its doors because it would not comply with the cities Equal Benefits Ordinance, which requires the same benefits for domestic partners that married partners get.

See's says that they do offer benefits to domestic partners, but taking on the "additional" benefits that the city requires would have forced the company to renegotiate all of its union contracts nationwide just to keep its San Francisco store in compliance.

So rather than give equal rights to domestic partners than rather take their nasty chocolates and run.
