If America is supposed to be a fair country, how could we have laws that discriminate so blatantly? Something is very wrong and needs to change now.

It is very sad this nice Lesbian died. I heard she was a okay soldier. It is too bad her other gay lover must now be on her own without everyone else having to pay for her benefits. Everyone feels sorry for the child who was brought up in this environment without a real father and now Charlie passing away makes it even more tragic as the kid will now have to be on the welfare system. Perhaps the other Lesbian might now consider placing the child in a normal home. The best of luck to them!

All the best to you both. I really hope people get their heads out of their backsides and realize that your FAMILY needs the same support net that other FAMILIES get.
