Awfulness

[bofoddity]

Sonoma County CA separates elderly gay couple and sells their home. (Article doesn't seem to be available at the moment, but I re-posted the contents in this post.)

I also commented about this to rosehiptea in her post, and she pointed out that since gay marriages are illegal in California this could happen to a lot more people. Maybe even marriage isn't enough to prevent this kind of crap from happening, but maybe it would help if these kind of rights weren't taken away in the first place. Or if we didn't question the right to these rights at all. Wouldn't it be great if it was so?!

a lot of people are questioning if this story is legit but you know what? it doesn't matter if this particular story is legit or not because this shit - and worse - is happening every. single. day. to people like clay and harold. i'm just so glad that this story has moved so many people, regardless of its accuracy. it's making people PAY ATTENTION TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF EQUAL RIGHTS FOR LGBTQ PEOPLE, which is what matters the most.
