This is why marriage is important to queers!

I am watching a documentary "Freeheld"

Detective Lieutenant Laurel Hester has terminal lung cancer. She is told her State pension cannot be transferred to her domestic partner. This Academy Award-winning documentary follows the struggle of two women who fight for what's right.

Here is the trailer:

There are so many discriminatory laws that are granted to married couples and queer people are being denied the right to marry. How are we supposed to get pensions and benefits that we deserve if we don't have the right to marry? Now George W. Bush has signed a bill into law for Domestic Partners and Elderly LGBT individuals that is not enforced. The Executive Branch enforces the law and like in "Freeheld", the local government can opt out of law by denying pensions to people and say you have to ask permission from the family if you have right to the pension. You have to ask permission from the family to even go in the hospital room at the ER in some states. It's just despicable behavior when it comes down to something so critical. Ask a heterosexual to bow down and do any of this it will be World War III. But if I act a fool and make a real life version of John Q they want to ignore me. Things must change immediately.
