And now, for a little good news
I didn't realize until I read Pandagon and Pam's House Blend that the Ocean County Homophobic Five had finally relented--thanks to public outcry--and voted to allow Laurel Hester's benefits to go to her partner.
What an Alice In Wonderland world--Deny benefits to someone who isn't your spouse, then deny you the right to have a spouse.

That gives me some comfort that there might be a little hope for change. I hate small steps but they are better than none or backwards steps. I'm so happy that she is getting the benefits.

It's horrifying that something has to go this far before the right thing is done. Simply appalling.
