Yet, my friend. It won't matter to them that she was an American hero. I do hope I'm wrong.

Here you have another example of denying someone their basic human rights. Her partner of 27 years will not receive the same basic rights as a hetero couple.
She will have to pay inheritance taxes and have no access to Sally's pension or social security.

How is it that a country that prides itself on equal rights for all, denies those rights to not a small percentage of it's own citizens? I just simply don't believe this is right.

When has that ever influenced those whited sepulchures on the right?
