The medias are talking a lot about hero Sally Ride passing away (and what a phenomenal woman she was indeed, wow), but none of them are mentioning that the woman who shared her life for 27 years, Tam O’Shaughnessy, will get no widow benefits from the States like astronauts’s spouses usually do.
Because gay.

Lesbian is still an ugly word, eh?

Why must it be so damn hard for a society to simply accept the love between two men or two women and the right to be together? Aside from the parties involved, what’s the difference?!
