What century is this?

Sonoma County CA separates elderly gay couple and sells their home without their consent

Frankly, I find it terrifying that things like this can still happen.

I'd comment more, but I'm too full of rage to really form coherent sentences right now. I'll just say this: This is the 21st century, and things like this shouldn't happen. But they do

*sigh* I know it's not the same thing exactly, but I do know that when my ma dies someday the government is going to take everything to pay her bills and...that hurts so much ;.; How someone could live a whole life and then, before they are even cold, even if they have family or people like family, they can just wipe their memory (and all the things they worked hard to get and love) from the earth...

My letter was probably short and lame, but...
It just always bothers me so much to see older people taken advantage of. It makes me wonder why people'd even want to be old when they'd have to face legal shit like this.
And that all of this was probably so influenced by their relationship, too... none of it's right.

You're awesome for sending one off.

It's just a horrible thing all around. Urgh.

First I raged, but now it's just making me feel really, really sick... It reminds me so much of when this happened, except it's even worse because they took away everything they had, too. Disgusting, the whole thing.

I've put that letter on my to-do list and I'll take care of it tomorrow when I'm less sleep deprived. /half-hearted thumbs up goes here sigh

Seems that happens far too often. Just horrible. But this, yeah... sigh.

Letter-writing = awesome. Most we can do at this point, I think.

Get some sleep, bro.
