Dying Woman's Heart-Warming Trip to Paradise
Amidst the tough political climate for LGBT people, with fights against ballot initiatives planned in several states and lawsuits needed to challenge antigay policies, it's important to remember that people still come together on occasion just to do nice things for one another. This is the story of one of those moments.
Chief Warrant Officer Charlie Morgan got people's attention for going to John Boehner's office this month and meeting with his staff, explaining why it's so urgent that the Republican Speaker of the House repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. Morgan has Stage IV, incurable breast cancer. And the National Guardswoman from New Hampshire worries about what her family will do without her.
As expected, Boehner's staff told Morgan they wouldn't be repealing DOMA. In fact, they'll be defending it. But something unexpected happened, too.
The folks at OutServe heard about the officer's activism, her illness and about her unfulfilled dream of going to Hawaii. So they decided to raise the cash to make that happen. “That’s what we do in the military: we take care of our own,” said Josh Seefried, OutServe’s co-director. “I only hope that Charlie will live to see the country respond in the same way.”
