Here’s a sad story from Connecticuit, United States, about a botched cancer treatment that has not lead to proper compensation because the two women owed it were not married.
Why weren’t they married? Because they weren’t allowed to be. Yet another case proving that separate civil unions are not equal to marriage. This couple spent every possible moment together and have said all along they would marry if they could, and up until now that has counted for nothing in the eyes of the law.
Thankfully a jury now agrees with the couple’s claims and the surviving partner might get her due.
