This Oct. 8, 2013, photo provided by Thomas Hafke shows Hafke, left, and his husband Chad Higby, while cruising on the Potomac River on their wedding day in Washington. Hafke, 30, went online in December and bought a family plan for his husband and himself from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina. But the Chapel Hill-based company then canceled family coverage it sold to about 20 same-sex couples through the marketplace because of contract phrasing that defined "spouse" as "opposite sex." Blue Cross and Blue Shield reversed course in January, saying it would offer the coverage to same-sex married couples and domestic partners. (AP Photo/Thomas Hafke)
