LGBT Folks: Backbone of America

If my partner dies, because we could never file as a couple on federal taxes, my Social Security payment would be affected. I would not receive the extra payment that widows and widowers normally receive from the federal government. Watch this video and see what I mean.

This is not propaganda. This is the honest truth. We pay more tax than anyone, and then get nothing when we become too old to work and outlive our partners.

BTW--folks who lose their partners as war casualties will not get extra government payments either.

This is why straight folks should know every single LGBT person serving alongside them in the military. They should hear firsthand how we pay double to be citizens, and serve with honor, for no reward. They should know that we are the slaves of this system, and the economic backbone of America, and this should come to an end.
