I don't see why for gay couples especially if they are older and especially they have drawn up the legal paper work to protect them selves as a couple can't be seen in the same way.aNorthWestViewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03598507140332496283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-20623962873594848812010-07-26T05:16:34.321-07:002010-07-26T05:16:34.321-07:00There was news of a couple in the midwest who lost...There was news of a couple in the midwest who lost their farm when one of them died.

I think part of it is this idea that if they admitted they did bad they imagine they'd be giving ammunition for a lawsuit (another, maybe). But then, possibility of legal consequences or not, people just refuse to think badly of themselves. Considering that this happened in an area of the country with a lot of out gay people and a relatively accepting atmosphere does lead one to wonder what stories (of the horror variety) we aren't hearing.Glenn Ingersollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674475308395975995noreply@blogger.com
