who counts?
To deny survivor benefits to some people, because they happen to be gay or lesbian, is anathema to what this country is about.
Gay and lesbian Americans have fought and died for this country in every battle, sat in POW camps and stood proud as the flag passed. They did this so that the immortal words,"all men are created equal," would not die.
You may not have to answer for this discrimination you perpetuated today. But, when your maker ask you why you would make life more difficult for some, what will you say?
