vetula: chris kelley’s blog

Spring is bringing an added bonus to my cousin in Maine. Maine now recognises same-sex partnerships. She and her partner are now eligible for inheritance eligibility, victim’s compensation, guardian rights and next-of-kin status. Maine is the fifth state to pass such laws. Congrats!

While it’s nice to see equal rights come to fellow travellers, it’s especially nice to see them granted to family members. Too bad my gay great-uncle is no longer around to celebrate with us. (And yes - in my family at least - there really may be a link between genetics and homosexuality…)
