Thank you. The article that you posted is essentially the same. Interestingly, it took 23 replies before someone actually tried to view it. That speaks poorly for the level of intellectual curiosity and desire to actually learn about an issue. Most of these knuckle heads just want to flame and spout off their bigoted bovine excrement.

Lambda Legal Sues Social Security on Behalf of Lesbian Seeking Spousal Survivor's Benefits


Heartless bigoted bureaucratic bastards !! This is one more reason why we can't let the SCOTUS move to far to the right!!

Lambda Legal today filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) on behalf of a 63-year-old lesbian seeking spousal survivor's benefits based on her relationship with her partner of 27 years, who died in 2006 before same-sex couples in the State of Washington were able to marry.

The lawsuit filed on behalf of Helen Thornton in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington argues that SSA's exclusion of same-sex couples from survivor's benefits based on their inability to marry is unconstitutional.

Outrageous! They would have been married if they could have been .To deny her survivors benefits is tantamount to blaming the victim of discrimination.

Unfortunately nothing can be done about the Supreme Court – there will soon be five reactionary conservative ideologues hostile to the rights and protected liberties of the American people who as a consequence of their fear and bigotry will allow government to discriminate against gay and transgender Americans.
 
Well I'm not sure this has to do with SSM discrimination. I suspect it has to do with spouses not being able to collect SS unless they've been married 10 years.

An activist group in 2007 attempted to put SSM to a vote in Washington but they failed to gather enough signatures over a span of nearly a year to get it on the ballot. (The group was the "Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance" for reference.)

As the public of Washington wasn't interested in legalizing SSM, there's not really much chance for this spouse to argue that they 'could' have been married ten years ago.

Yup, because, logically, evolution supports faggots. Not heterosexuals.

Fucking idiot.

They were not married. That's the law then and NOW. At 63', she qualifies for her own SS payments. Apply for them.
 
Another good reason to get rid of SS and to privatize retirement savings accounts - they would then be personal assets that can be bequeathed to whomever one chooses.
And take away the liberal's personal piggy bank? They won't go with that idea, even if it would have solved the problem.

Right Bubba, except maybe he partners would be higher. That's how it works. The rest of us have a choice as to which to take , She does not and that's discrimination.

Liberal piggy bank. Are you saying that conservatives/Republicans do not partake of social security? What "problem" is it that needs solving?

Thank you for admitting that you have your head so far up that smelly place where the sun don't shine that you do not know how LGBT people have been, and still are discriminated against,
