John in Kansas

I was referring to Janice's statement about people being locked up, put in mental hospitals or being mutilated for the expression of their sexuality.

Obviously as far as recogniton of their legal rights there is still a long way to go, more so in some jurisdictions than in others.

Coincidentally, I just this week filled out paperwork to start collecting my pension and was pleased to see that the definition of spouse, in the context of benificiary, included someone of either the same or opposite sex.
