I was filling out a Progressive Insurance Car quote online and my application was refused due to me and my husband being of the same sex.
I sent them this email and an awaiting a reply……
Your Progressive support request
Below is a copy of your recent message to Progressive:
Subject: Progressive Website Support
Message: I was filling out your online application for quote, I was shocked and offended when I entered the info for my husband and our application was rejected/refused with the notice “Name insured/spouse cannot be same gender” WHAT ???? We are a legally married same sex couple. We are Canadian and live six months a year in the USA. We have a registered licensed car in Florida as well we both have Florida drivers licenses. This must be a web form mistake, I hope to receive a speedy reply. Surely your company does business with same sex couples ?
