Doing the Right Thing

We read so much bad news everyday, it’s wonderful to read something that lifts you up like this story about a gay union member’s surviving partner:
“When I heard the news that Bill’s union had changed their policy and even made it retroactive to include me, I was stunned,” said Marvin. “Maybe it was me sharing my story with so many people, but I think it is also because they thought it was the right thing to do. I hope this shows our community the power of speaking up and that this encourages more gay Americans to come out and tell their stories. Bill was always proud of how his union provided for its members and I know Bill is smiling down at me and that alone gives me a wonderful reflection.”
